PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Freshman Jayden de Laura has been named the starting quarterback for Washington State when the Cougars open their season at Oregon State on Saturday. First-year coach Nick Rolovich said de Laura will take the first snap at Oregon State. A true freshman from Honolulu, de Laura won a three-way competition with redshirt sophomore Cammon Cooper and redshirt freshman Gunner Cruz. De Laura is thought to be the first true freshman quarterback to start for the Cougars in a season opener. Rolovich was hired from Hawaii and pointed to de Laura’s familiarity with the run-and-shoot offense Rolovich has installed.
