Sam Ehlinger still remembers the last time he treated Caden Sterns like a freshman.
Spring 2018, Sterns’ first semester on campus, Sterns was taking reps in practice against Ehlinger and the first-team offense. Ehlinger saw the incoming freshman Sterns in one-high safety protection over the top and heard offensive coordinator Tim Beck dial up a fade. In that second, Ehlinger knew exactly how to beat Sterns.
