07/25/22 - Chevan Cordeiro, rSr/2024, San Jose State + More +

Cordeiro said he was familiar with San Jose State after four seasons of competing against the Mountain West rival. "I knew Coach (Brent) Brennan," Cordeiro said. "He's a fun coach, a player's coach. Just the teammates, the culture, the family. That's why I made the choice. That's what made the transition so easy. That's why I picked them." Cordeiro said several relatives live in Nevada. "They come down and spend some time," he said. "My mom came down and helped me move in. In the beginning, it was hard. Of course, I missed home. But my roommates are fun to hang out with." The transfer portal comes with a 14-day grace period, beginning with the first organized workout with the new team, for a player to return to his previous school. But Cordeiro said he never considered returning to UH. "From the very first day I was committed to San Jose State," Cordeiro said. "I wasn't going to change it, no matter what, no matter what Hawaii was going to offer me. Nothing was going to change the fact I was going to stick with San Jose. I bought in."

Brennan said SJSU offers Cordeiro the blend of opportunity and challenge. Cordeiro agreed, saying, "I didn't want to go to a team that I was handed a starting job without working for it. I wanted to battle. I think (quarterback Nick) Nash got me better. I got him better. Even the other quarterbacks in the room. I like the quarterback room. It's one big family. We all love each other. We're all getting better." Cordeiro said he spends a great deal of time at the Spartans' football complex, where he participates in weight-training and studies football videos. He said he shops at Costco for white rice. He has adjusted to NorCal's freeways. And, he said emphatically, "I'm having fun now. I found the love of the game again...Everything has been good." - Honolulu Advertiser

The loss of star tight end Derrick Deese Jr. will undoubtedly hurt, but the Spartans' depth at receiver inspires optimism that their aerial attack will look more like it did in 2019 and 2020 - when they ranked first and third in the league, respectively, in passing offense. They return their top four wide-outs from last season, and also add experience with the arrival of Elijah Cooks, who hauled in 115 catches for 1,478 yards and 18 touchdowns in five years at Nevada. - Wyoming Tribune Eagle

San Jose State will battle Stanford in the return of the Bill Walsh Legacy Game as Director of Athletics Jeff Konya announced a four-game home-and-home series with the Cardinal on Wednesday. The first game of the series is set for Sept. 13, 2025 at CEFCU Stadium to open the return of the rivalry. Only four of the 67 games in this series have previously been played in San Jose including the first one on Oct. 11, 1900.

The Spartans currently have 14 games against Power-5 opponents in upcoming schedules and SJSU will play two games against Pac-12 teams in 2023, including Oregon State at home for the opening of the brand new Spartan Athletics Complex. "We are excited to announce this series with Stanford," said Konya. "It fits well with our scheduling philosophy of playing quality regional opponents and bolstering our home non-conference contests for One Spartan Nation to experience." - San Jose State Football
