Jayden de Laura has been penciled in as Arizona’s starting quarterback for 2022 pretty much from the moment he decided to transfer there from Washington State in January. Nothing about his play in spring practice changed that, even though the player himself wasn’t particularly impressed with the performance.
“I wasn’t really confident with the plays,” de Laura said Wednesday after Arizona’s first preseason practice. “I wouldn’t say I was just thrown out there, but I didn’t really have everything underneath me. I was just going out there trying to improvise, trying to make stuff happen.
