Hawaii’s top 2025 recruit QB Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele commits to Cal

Three-star quarterback Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele is headed to Berkeley, California, where he’ll look to continue the strong tradition of Cal Golden Bears QBs throughout the school’s history, from Joe Kapp to Steve Bartkowski to Craig Morton to Aaron Rodgers and Jared Goff.

The top-ranked class of ‘2025 recruit in Hawaii, Sagapolutele chose the Cal over Utah State, Oregon State and Boise State.

He made the official announcement via X.

It’s a significant recruiting win for the Golden Bears and head coach Justin Wilcox, who leads the program into its first season in the new-look ACC. And helps rebound from the decommitment of Hughson (Calif.) three-star quarterback Robert McDaniel last week.

And the 6-foot-3 lefty has plenty of room to grow, which only adds to the overall intrigue by the nod to the Bay Area.

While he’s currently listed as a three-star QB, his arm talent has been turning heads all summer, including at the Elite 11 Finals, and it wouldn’t be a shock if Sagapolutele moves up the ladder as the 2024 season kicks off.

Overall, the progression into 2025 makes the James Campbell (Ewa Beach, Hawaii) slinger one to keep an eye on.
