Arizona State football landed a quarterback commit in its 2020 class.

Daylin McLemore, a three-star quarterback out of Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, Calif., announced his commitment to the Sun Devils late Saturday night.

McLemore was an efficient quarterback over his nine games in his senior year, completing 94 of his 119 passes — a clip of 79% — for 1,573 yards. He had 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. On the ground, he rushed for 429 yards and five touchdowns on 60 carries.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound passer is ranked the No. 35 dual-threat quarterback in the class and No. 120 player in California by 247Sports.

Serra went 13-2 this past season. McLemore’s top games included a 6-for-8 performance with four touchdowns and no interceptions, a 10-for-14 game with three touchdowns and no picks, and two games in which he completed more than 90% of his passes.

According to McLemore’s Twitter account, he had 13 offers from Division I schools including Nevada and Boise State.

ASU offered on Jan. 23 and was the final one he tweeted about.

McLemore committed to ASU despite a crowded quarterback room. Incumbent starter Jayden Daniels will return as a sophomore, and behind him is sophomore Ethan Long, who was named a captain as a true freshman and dubbed “Captain America.”

Redshirt freshman Trenton Bourguet is also on the ASU roster.

The Sun Devils now have 19 commits, according to 247Sports: seven four-star players and 12 three-star. Their recruiting class is ranked No. 23 in the country and No. 4 in the Pac-12.

McLemore is the 13th ASU commit from a California high school.
