Sun Devils react to Cutter Boley winning starting QB job
- Kenny Dillingham named junior Cutter Boley Arizona State's starting quarterback after a full camp competition with Mikey Keene. Teammates viewed either option as viable, and Keene is considered an experienced, trusted backup.
- Boley's largest spring-to-camp gain was command: he became louder in the huddle, more comfortable directing the offense and better at putting teammates in the right positions.
- Players describe natural leadership growth after an initially hesitant arrival, but the report provides no practice-based evidence yet about his passing efficiency or downfield production.
