If Joey Yellen ever gets discouraged about seemingly being locked into that No. 3 spot on the Arizona State quarterback depth chart, he just needs to be reminded about another player from the same program who was in that position not that long ago.
In 2012, Taylor Kelly spent all of spring football as the No. 3 man, only to earn the starting job by the end of fall camp.
Yellen, out of Mission Viejo High School (Calif.), is hoping he can do the same. Most think the starting quarterback battle has come down to true freshman Jayden Daniels, Southern California's all-time leading passer, and junior Dillon Sterling-Cole, the backup to Manny Wilkins last season.
