Jayden Denegal gives San Diego State a big, durable QB with upside and room to sharpen consistency
In his first full season as San Diego State’s starter in 2025, Jayden Denegal started all 12 regular-season games and threw for 1,807 yards, 9 touchdowns and 8 interceptions while adding 99 rushing yards and 4 rushing scores, showing enough arm talent and dual-threat value to keep defenses honest.[6][17] At 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, he brings size, toughness and a vertical passing profile, but the main question for a team is consistency: his completion rate was 58.8% in 2025, so he looks best as a developmental starter with physical tools rather than a finished product.[5][6]
