Steven M. Sipple: Frost hits right notes on QBs, workout issue and roster makeup

Perhaps his answer offers clues as to which quarterback on the 2018 roster will have a leg up when spring drills commence in March.

He highlighted three razor-sharp quarterbacks with whom he's worked closely: Marcus Mariota, Vernon Adams and McKenzie Milton. Mariota led the nation in pass efficiency in 2014 at Oregon with Frost coaching the position and calling plays. The next season, Adams led the nation in pass efficiency under Frost's guidance.

No. 3 on Frost's list was athletic ability. He said he's talked about that aspect with a couple of quarterbacks already on campus, presumably sophomore Patrick O'Brien and redshirt freshman Tristan Gebbia.
