Arizona State’s quarterback room may be shifting again, but Kenny Dillingham already has his answer. As reports swirl about Sam Leavitt entering the transfer portal, Dillingham is doubling down on 2026 four-star Jake Fette. What makes him Dillingham’s guy? Unshakable commitment.
“He’s (Jake Fette) been committed the longest,” said Dillingham on Monday. “Stayed committed through all the people that tried to get him to flip, and the want to be here is really important to me.”
Fette has been locked in with ASU since September 2024, staying loyal through months of recruiting pressure and attempts from other major programs to flip him. And for Dillingham, that loyalty matters as much as any measurable.
Of course, loyalty alone didn’t make Fette one of the top quarterbacks in the 2026 class.
