Fresno State’s quarterback battle goes beyond training camp

Junior Jake Haener and sophomore Ben Wooldridge have battled it out for the starting quarterback position all of training camp and a decision on the starter will come soon from first-year Fresno State head coach Kalen Deboer.

And although these two Bay Area natives are playing together for the first time at the collegiate level, this isn’t the first time they’ve competed against each other.

The two have a history dating back to their high school days.

Both Bulldog quarterbacks battled it out under the Friday night lights on two different occasions. Haener — who originally committed to the University of Washington — played at Monte Vista in Danville, California, while Wooldridge suited up for Foothill High School in Pleasanton, California.
