Arizona issues statement on Jayden de Laura sexual assault news, says QB will remain with program

Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura will remain with the program despite recent news coming to light that he recently settled a civil complaint accusing him and a high school teammate of sexual assault in Hawaii.

The school issued a statement Friday saying it learned of the allegations against de Laura last fall and determined at the time he would remain with the program.

"In the fall of 2022 after a civil complaint was filed against football student-athlete Jayden de Laura, the University of Arizona first became aware of a 2018 incident involving de Laura which occurred while he was in high school in Hawaii," the statement reads.
