SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Washington State quarterback Jayden de Laura is reportedly out for the game against Utah and a former Beehive state star could get the start.
According to Pete Thamel of Yahoo! Sports, de Laura will miss the game against the Utes on Saturday after suffering a knee injury in the Cougars’ loss to USC last week.
Tennessee transfer Jarrett Guarantano is a game-time decision after suffering an injury in the season opener against Utah State. If Guarantano can’t go, Lehi high school star Cammon Cooper will get the start.
