It appears that one of Michigan's transfer quarterbacks has found a new home. On Thursday, Kirk Kenny of the San Diego Tribune reported that junior QB Jayden Denegal was committing to San Diego State. Denegal, a native of California, will return to his home state with an opportunity to compete for the starting job with the Aztecs.

Although he didn't see any reps as a junior during the 2024 season, Denegal appeared in six games at quarterback for the Wolverines during the 2023 season, completing 4-of-5 attempts for one touchdown.

Here's a closer look at some of Denegal's accomplishments during his three seasons at the University of Michigan:

Sophomore (2023)
• Appeared in six games at quarterback; completed four-of-five passes with one touchdown and also ran four times for 10 yards to earn his second varsity letter
• Shared Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance at Nebraska
