Jayden Maiava’s parents, William and Jerushua Maiava, are originally from Hawaii. The couple had eight children, one of whom is the most sought-after college quarterback in the country. Jayden grabbed the opportunity with both hands when it presented itself. He began the season as Doug Brumfield’s backup quarterback at UNLV. But after Brumfield was defeated by Vanderbilt, Maiva took advantage of the situation.
He entered the starting lineup and led the team to its first Mountain West Conference championship game. The quarterback has 2,626 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions during the regular season. Maiava was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and has promised Rebel fans that he will be back in 2024. UNLV had an excellent turnaround season in his first year under Barry Odom, and Maiava wants to stay with the team.

When he was only six years old, the boy knew exactly what he wanted to be. He would tell his father he wanted to be an NFL player, and his parents would let him.

Not only were his parents committed to his football ambitions. His uncle, Keone, took him to summer camps and advised him to start as a receiver. His aunt and grandmother on both sides also played important roles. Jayden is the youngest member of a close-knit family. They are also very religious, and Jayden constantly praises God above all else for what he has accomplished in his life.
