Ex-Michigan QB’s Unexpected Rise: Why San Diego State’s New Starter Could Change the Game
So, here’s a thought to chew on: Michigan’s got a reputation for cranking out top-tier quarterbacks, but this time, their latest star isn’t taking snaps in the Big House — he’s commanding the huddle down in Southern California with the San Diego State Aztecs. Jayden Denegal, once the quiet understudy behind the Wolverines’ J.J. McCarthy and Davis Warren, has seized the starting quarterback gig for SDSU, turning heads as head coach Sean Lewis gears up for his second season. It’s a classic “return home” story — the towering 6-foot-5, 235-pound signal-caller is just a few hours from his Apple Valley roots, and his arm strength and calm under pressure have quickly made him the Aztecs’ man to watch this fall. But can Denegal be the missing ingredient to flip SDSU’s fortunes after a tough 3-9 slate? With a tougher tempo offense and some promising playmakers on deck, the Aztecs might just have the recipe for a comeback season — led by a Michigan transfer with something to prove.
