Cade Klubnik won’t be on campus for another week, but there is already a buzz about a potential quarterback battle between the heralded 5-star and incumbent DJ Uiagalelei. Now it’s up to new offensive coordinator and longtime quarterbacks coach Brandon Streeter to manage that competition.
Uiagalelei started all 13 games of his sophomore campaign, completing 208-374 passes (55.6%) for 2246 yards, nine touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. According to the NCAA stats website, Uiagalelei ranks 107th out of 110 passers in passing efficiency with a rating of 108.65. Out of quarterbacks who played in 13 games, his nine touchdowns were only better than Rutgers’ Noah Vedral, who had seven.
