Max Gilliam is a Cal football early entry freshman QB

Cal quarterback commit Max Gilliam was one of the first Golden Bears to sign up to be a Cal Bear! Gilliam is already on campus and will be competing this spring to be the quarterback of the future in Berkeley.

Via Trace, "Gilliam is a good fit at the QB position for the Bears, as Thousand Oaks runs a similar offense to the Tony Franklin system. It's from the pistol, it encourages timing routes, and the quarterback is given numerous options that build off each other. Gilliam has flashes of what made Jared Goff the starter in his freshman year. He keeps things very smooth and hits his receivers in rhythm, and can throw a hell of a deep ball."
