‘You don’t know who you are until you fail’: Arizona QB Khalil Tate brings new perspective into 2019

LOS ANGELES — Last season’s struggles might have been the best thing that could have happened to Khalil Tate.

Coming off a breakout campaign, the Arizona Wildcats quarterback got hurt. He grappled with his identity as a QB. He didn’t fully understand what it meant to be a leader.

Several months later, on the eve of his senior season, Tate has a new perspective.

“You don’t know who you are until you fail,” he said Wednesday during Pac-12 Media Day.
