Throughout fall training camp, the biggest (on field) story for Washington State football has been centered on the quarterback position. All offseason, everyone thought the battle would be between Jayden de Laura and Tennessee transfer Jarrett Guaranto. But, at times this fall, head coach Nick Rolovich had four players rotating through starting reps, a group that also included Cammon Cooper and Victor Gabalis. But on Tuesday, Rolovich officially narrowed the competition to just two.
“We’re down to Jayden and Jarrett right now,” Rolovich confirmed after practice on Tuesday. He went on to explain that Cooper, Gabalis and even freshman Xavier Ward played well enough to make him think a little harder about the position battle.
