The Arizona Wildcats will take on the Oklahoma Sooners on Dec. 28 in San Antonio, Texas, in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Ahead of the matchup, current Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura announced that he would enter the transfer portal.
Since Sept. 23 against Stanford, de Laura has thrown just three passes while Noah Fifita took over the starting job due to injury. He never relinquished the job, leading the Wildcats to a 6-2 record in his stead. Now the former starter is looking to make a change, while staying with the Wildcats through the bowl game.
Jayden de Laura started his career with the Washington State Cougars for two seasons before joining Arizona prior to last season. In four seasons, de Laura has amassed 8,484 yards with 63 touchdowns to 31 interceptions

Jayden de Laura is another experienced gunslinger that can help elevate a team that is a quarterback away from competing for the College Football Playoffs.
