Arizona Wildcats coach Kevin Sumlin stoked the preseason hype surrounding Grant Gunnell, saying Wednesday that the sophomore quarterback has made “serious strides” during this extended offseason.
“When adverse situations arise, I think they reveal some people’s true character,” Sumlin said during a Pac-12 webinar. “And how you handle those situations, even if you don’t have the experience in it, becomes important and leadership becomes important. So I think he stepped forward and has really done some things to grow and to help grow our team together during this offseason during a difficult time.
