Jaden De Laura Is Back — And He Brought the Fire With Him

From College Controversy to Indoor League Stardom, De Laura’s Comeback Is Turning Heads

The Knighthawks weren’t just losing games — they were invisible. The kind of team that struggled to score 30 points, barely cracked 40, and often left the scoreboard operator bored stiff. Then came Jaden De Laura.

Now the scoreboard has to add spaces.

Since the former Pac-12 standout took over under center, the Knighthawks’ offense has gone nuclear. In a league where 50 is impressive, they’re casually putting up 80. It’s not just explosive — it’s relentless. And it's all coming from the arm, legs, and instincts of a quarterback who once looked destined for the NFL.

De Laura’s style hasn’t changed. He’s still that backyard gunslinger, launching deep balls off one foot and throwing into windows nobody else sees. Only now, he’s doing it in tighter quarters, faster tempo, and lower lighting — the perfect chaos for someone wired like him.

The team? They’ve followed his lead.

Once buried in the standings, the Knighthawks have roared into playoff position. With De Laura, every down feels like a big play waiting to happen. Defenses are guessing. Teammates are thriving. Fans are showing up. It’s not just a resurgence. It’s a spectacle.

The Last Three Games Tell the Story

If you want proof of De Laura’s impact, just look at his last three games:

May 31 vs. Rattlers: First start of the season. De Laura drops 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD in a 52–37 win. The offense finds its rhythm.

June 8 vs. Northern Arizona: A 63–43 victory powered by 179 passing yards and 4 total touchdowns from De Laura. Suddenly, the Knighthawks are unstoppable.

June 21 vs. Barnstormers: The eruption. Vegas lights up the scoreboard for 82 points, a new franchise record. De Laura delivers 5 touchdown passes and total command of the offense.

From 50+ to 60+ to 80+, each game has marked a new ceiling for this team — and it’s all happened with De Laura under center.

But as much as the story is about football, it’s also about what isn’t being said out loud.

De Laura was once one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in college football — a dual-threat dynamo who lit up the Pac-12 at Washington State and Arizona. But his path derailed when a civil lawsuit named him and a former teammate in a sexual assault case from their high school days in Hawaii.

No criminal charges were filed. But the shadow of the case followed him. NIL deals dried up. NFL interest cooled. And De Laura, despite his talent, found himself on the outside of football’s top level looking in.

So now, here he is — not in the SEC or the Big Ten, not on Sundays — but dominating on a smaller stage with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.

And if you’ve watched even one Knighthawks game lately, you know: he’s not just playing for wins. He’s playing like he’s trying to force the league to look again.

Because Jaden De Laura didn’t disappear.

He just found a new way to burn the house down.
