Wave of the future arrives in the form of ASU's electric quarterback Jayden Daniels

The landscape of football is shifting, and it's moving toward players like Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels.

True freshmen starting at quarterback for a bowl-quality team is still rare, but it's no longer out of the ordinary. Just as was the case in high school, Daniels is on pace to carve out a four-year era as the Sun Devils quarterback, one that will continue Tuesday in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl against Florida State.

Dual-threat quarterbacks have long had a place in college football, but with the NFL success of Baltimore's Lamar Jackson, runner/throwers like Daniels are the wave of the future.
