The Bears, picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12 media poll, have lots of new faces and lots of questions entering camp.
Sam Jackson V, a transfer from TCU, arrived in time for spring ball and emerged as the No. 1. But he likely to be challenged by Ben Finley, a fellow redshirt sophomore and transfer from North Carolina State, who arrived on campus after spring practice ended.
The Bears are expecting improvement on the offensive line, where newcomers including Stanford transfer Barrett Miller.
Fresh faces in the defensive secondary include Patrick McMorris, Nohl Williams, Kaylin Moore and Matthew Littlejohn.
