Cal determined to keep freshman Sagapolutele after losing last year's star QB
"Fernando Mendoza was certain he would never leave Cal, the only FBS school that offered him a scholarship. My opinion has not changed on this and I believe it will not change, he said two years ago during the week leading to the Big Game. Looking back on it, if I had any offer in the nation, I would choose Cal. The greenest pasture is here. I think this is the best situation for me."
"Cal's current hot quarterback, freshman Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, certainly will have offseason opportunities to go elsewhere if he wishes. Schools will line up for his talented left arm, offering significant bounties, all legal in the evolving landscape of college football. Days away from the 128th Big Game at Stanford, Sagapolutele seems happy at Cal. Certainly he has been productive as the national leader in total passing yards among true freshman quarterbacks. Does that mean Old Blues will get the chance to cheer for him again next season?"
Fernando Mendoza initially committed to Cal as the only FBS scholarship offer and vowed to stay, then entered the transfer portal within a year and later became Indiana's Heisman-caliber quarterback. Freshman Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele leads all true freshmen in passing yards and has drawn likely offseason interest from other programs under current transfer rules. Sagapolutele is focused on winning the upcoming Big Game but has not given an absolute commitment to return for a sophomore season. General manager Ron Rivera is confident in retaining the 19-year-old and cites improved alumni engagement and financial readiness for player retention.
