The Pac-12 hasn’t had any problems replacing talent lost due to eligibility, the transfer portal or the upcoming NFL draft.
Highlighted by Colorado’s No. 1 overall incoming transfer class, each team in the conference has reloaded in some form. Plus, the Pac-12 enters spring football with arguably the most talented group of quarterbacks in the Power Five, including reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, Washington southpaw Michael Penix Jr., Oregon’s Bo Nix and two-time Pac-12 Championship Game winner Cam Rising.
But still, there are plenty of new faces primed to make a big impact in 2023. Here’s a look at each Pac-12 team’s top newcomer as we enter spring football, according to ESPN:
Arizona State: QB Drew Pyne

The former Notre Dame QB threw for over 2,000 yards with six touchdowns last season, giving new head coach Kenny Dillingham a reliable option at QB.
Cal: OC Jake Spavital

Not a player, but Spavital comes back to Cal after four seasons as head coach at Texas State. He’ll now lead a Golden Bears offense in need of major improvements.
Arizona: DL Bill Norton, LB Daniel Heimuli and LB Leviticus Su’a
