Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele joined elite Cal football company on Aug. 31.
The left-handed quarterback became the first true freshman to start a season opener for the Golden Bears since Jared Goff did so in 2013. Goff would go on to become the No. 1 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
Sagapolutele, however, has already done two things Goff didn't do as a true freshman: Win his debut, and win multiple games. The Golden Bears opened the season with a 34-15 win over Oregon State, while Goff lost his opener 44-30 to Northwestern (despite throwing for 450 yards and two touchdowns).
