Overview
- The Sun Devils publicly announced the choice on Saturday and Boley is expected to start Sept. 5 against Morgan State at Mountain America Stadium.
- Head coach Kenny Dillingham said Boley’s fall‑camp work and improved care of the football were the decisive factors in naming him QB1.
- Boley is a 6‑foot‑5 transfer from Kentucky who in 2025 completed 65.8% of his passes for 2,160 yards with 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, and his career totals include 17 TDs, 16 INTs and two lost fumbles.
- Mikey Keene is expected to move to the backup role while true freshman Jake Fette and sophomore Cam Dyer provide depth and new receivers like Omarion Miller and Reed Harris aim to strengthen Boley’s supporting cast.
- Arizona State’s early slate, which includes a trip to No. 8 Texas A&M the week after the opener and a London game against Kansas, will be an immediate test of Boley’s turnover handling and the program’s direction under Dillingham.
