What does Jayden de Laura’s DUI arrest mean for 2021?

As you’ve probably heard by now, the freshman quarterback who made history by starting four games for Washington State this fall is back in the news today for the wrong reason: Jayden de Laura was arrested for suspicion of misdemeanor DUI early Saturday morning. He has since been suspended by the program.

The news was first reported by SWX/KHQ’s Rob Jesselson and has since been confirmed by multiple outlets.

The details are pretty typical for this sort of thing in Pullman: de Laura is alleged to have run through a stop sign and then driven the wrong way on a one-way street on College Hill before being pulled over; he then failed a field sobriety test and refused a breathalyzer before subsequently being arrested.
