On Wednesday afternoon, head coach Jim Mora announced true freshman Josh Rosen as the starting quarterback for the season opener versus Virginia on Sept. 5.
For some, it was a no-brainer decision. Rosen was a consensus 5-star recruit by virtually every publication. He starred at one of the top high school programs in the country in St. John Bosco. Not only did he throw for 29 touchdowns in one of the toughest high school leagues nationally, but he also accrued a 4.3 grade-point average.
Rosen's mother went to Princeton and is related to Joseph Wharton of the Wharton School of Business fame.
