  08/14/21 - Jayden de Laura, rSr/2024, Arizona, 5-11, 207 (DS#40 QB) + More +

  Over the past six months, since the incident that briefly derailed his college football career, Jayden de Laura probably felt like he was in no position to turn down advice and knowledge from those with more wisdom and life experience than Washington State's 19-year-old quarterback. De Laura's elders have played a role, certainly, but it was someone who's celebrated fewer birthdays than even de Laura who delivered the message that really hit home. At some point while de Laura served a four-month suspension from WSU's football team after being arrested in February on suspicion of driving under the influence - a charge Whitman County District Court found him not guilty of last week - the quarterback heard from his high school-age brother, an aspiring college receiver entering his junior year at Honolulu's Saint Louis.

Jaysen de Laura's words - or maybe it was the courage he showed to address the topic at all with an older sibling - left a surprising imprint on Jayden. "For me I would say (the conversation) with my brother," de Laura said Friday when asked to recall a meaningful conversation from the past six months. "He kind of told me like, what am I doing? He kind of told me I was wasting my time." For the first time since WSU's season-ending loss at Utah in December, de Laura was back on the field taking snaps and slinging passes in the No. 4 jersey, as one of three QBs in a race to win the Cougars' starting job along with returning backup Cammon Cooper and Tennessee graduate transfer Jarrett Guarantano. - Seattle Times

  08/07/21 - Lucas Havrisik, rSr/2022, Arizona, 6-2, 185 (DS#18 K) + More +

  Reporter: "So Lucas Havrisik decided to come back for another year ..." Coach: "Thank God." The coach expressing his gratitude was Arizona assistant Keith Dudzinski, whose charges include the Wildcats' specialists. He meant no disrespect to any other kickers on the roster. Havrisik just happens to be a known quantity - and a potential breakout star - on a team lacking in both. Havrisik, Arizona's fifth-year placekicker, was the only Wildcat to make the preseason All-Pac-12 first or second teams. He earned that recognition after a standout 2020 campaign during which he made 6 of 7 field-goal attempts and booted more than 80% of his kickoffs (17 of 21) for touchbacks.

Havrisik has demonstrated NFL-caliber leg strength since the moment he arrived in Tucson in 2017. He had a 67.7% touchback rate as a freshman, and it's only gotten higher since. His career mark is 75.2%. He ranked 10th nationally last season at 81.0%. If that were his only job, Havrisik would be a clear All-America candidate. He hasn't been nearly as consistent or proficient on placements - field goals or extra points - and that's led to some frustrating moments. - Arizona Star News

  08/05/21 - Malik Reed, rJr/2025, Arizona, 6-0, 230 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

  Arizona's linebacker corps was slim during spring ball, but an influx of transfers and freshmen will add more bodies for Don Brown's defense. One of those transfers is former Chandler High School star linebacker Malik Reed, who returned to Arizona after one season with the Wisconsin Badgers. Reed was a high priority for the Wildcats' 2020 recruiting class, but he ultimately selected Wisconsin over the UA, UCLA, Nebraska and Colorado, among others. Reed was recruited as an outside linebacker out of high school, but could shift to inside linebacker alongside Anthony Pandy, Jabar Triplett and transfers Treshaun Hayward (Western Michigan), Jerry Roberts (Bowling Green) and Kenny Hebert (Vanderbilt). - Arizona Star News

  08/04/21 - Jalen Harris, rSr/2023, Arizona, 6-4, 257 (DS#56 DE) + More +

  How will Don Brown's system bring out the best in defensive ends Harris and JB Brown? "Dr. Blitz" isn't just a nickname for Don Brown. It's a way of life. His scheme is based on bringing pressure. It could come from anywhere. But when you look at the leading sackers from Brown's time at Michigan, the production mainly came from expected spots. Among the players who ranked first or second in sacks in Brown's five seasons with the Wolverines, only one) wasn't a defensive lineman or strongside linebacker (defensive back Khaleke Hudson, in 2017). The names that popped up most frequently: Kwity Paye (DE), Josh Uche (SLB) and Chase Winovich (DE). Each ranked in the top two (including ties) twice over that span.

There are two logical explanations for this: (1) Edge rushers are put in that position for a reason; and (2) by sending blitzers from all angles, it creates openings and one-on-one matchups for those edge rushers. In short: Brown's system will benefit Harris and JB Brown. Harris primarily played as an outside linebacker in a conservative 3-4 scheme last season under Paul Rhoads. Harris played a lot better than his lack of sacks would suggest. Harris had 18 tackles in four games. That projects to 54 in 12 games, which would have doubled his career high. - Arizona Star News

  08/03/21 - Treshaun Hayward, rSr/2023, Arizona, 6-0, 229 (DS#999 OLB) + More +

  Linebacker Treshaun Hayward will be part of the Arizona football team after all, the Star has learned. Hayward - a transfer from Western Michigan, where he was named the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2019 - signed with the Wildcats in February. The two parties subsequently parted ways for undisclosed reasons. Hayward is now back in the mix and is expected to participate in training camp, which begins Friday. His return gives Arizona another experienced option in a rebuilt linebacking corps. The UA has added five linebackers via the NCAA transfer portal. Hayward accumulated 229 tackles, including 16 stops for losses, in 39 games at WMU. - Arizona Star News

  Jayden de Laura was found not guilty of misdemeanor DUI charges Thursday and expressed sorrow in a lengthy letter posted to his Twitter account Thursday - the Washington State quarterback's first public comments since the incident in February. In February, de Laura was arrested by Pullman police on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI charges after going the wrong way on Thatuna Street and driving through a stop sign in the College Hill area of the WSU campus.

  Only one voter didn't pick the Arizona Wildcats to finish last in the Pac-12 South in the league's annual media poll. The UA, riding a school-record 12-game losing streak, received a league-low 41 points. Sixth-place selections are worth one point apiece. Forty media members voted in the poll. Two-time defending champion Oregon was picked to win the league. The media have the Ducks defeating South Division champ USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game in what would be a rematch of last year's contest. Arizona State was picked to finish third in the South behind USC and Utah. The Sun Devils received six first-place votes. Ten media members picked USC to win the Pac-12. Three selected Utah. - Arizona Star News

  Mohamed Diallo has entered the ranks of professional football. Diallo was drafted 19th overall in the third round by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL Draft Tuesday. He was one of two Mid-American Conference players selected, the other being Eastern Michigan kicker/punter Julien Lake. In two seasons with the Chippewas, Diallo made 26 total tackles. After missing the first half of the 2019 season while awaiting an immediate eligibility waiver, Diallo played the final five games of the season. He broke out in the shortened 2020 season, producing 9.5 tackles for loss and three sacks. Diallo was forced to move from the defensive interior to defensive end when an injury to starter LaQuan Johnson created a lack of depth at the position. - Central Michigan Life
