Despite Nick Rolovich’s attempts to keep his quarterback starter under wraps in the run up to the season opener against the Oregon State Beavers, Theo Lawson of The Spokesman-Review is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed that true freshman Jayden de Laura has won the job for the Washington State Cougars.

Because Rolovich isn’t talking, it’s impossible to know exactly why de Laura was the choice.
