Well, this is one way to get over the sting of a season-ending six-game losing streak.
Monday just so happened to be Arizona State Sun Devils football coach Todd Graham's 52nd birthday, and he received one heck of a birthday present: a commitment from a 5-star quarterback.
Blake Barnett, who originally committed to top-ranked Alabama but decided to transfer last season, wished Graham a happy birthday and let Graham know he'll be playing football at ASU next year, all with one epic birthday cake.

Barnett was rated by many experts as the No. 1 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2015. As an early-season transfer, he will have to sit out ASU's first four games of the 2016 season.
After an awful second half of the season that led to a number of ASU fans calling for Graham's firing, this was the best birthday present Graham could have asked for.
