Hauss Hejny is healthy and back to thriving for Colorado State.
The former Aledo and TCU quarterback accounted for five touchdowns in the Rams’ 56-49 victory over San Diego State on Saturday at Fort Collins, Colorado. The sophomore completed 24 of 31 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns with an interception and ran for 85 yards and two scores on 11 carries.
Hejny hadn’t played since injuring his hamstring against BYU on Sept. 19. Colorado State (3-4, 1-2 Pac-12) lost that game and the next three with Hejny out of the lineup. The Rams have won all three games Hejny has started and finished this season.
On Saturday, Hejny threw touchdown passes of 9 and 54 yards to Tommy Maher and 28 yards to Durrell Robinson. In the fourth quarter, Hejny ran for 4-yard TD, then put the Rams ahead 56-42 with a 30-yard TD run with 8:43 remaining.
Hejny is in his first season at Colorado State after transferring from Oklahoma State. He began his career at TCU in 2024.
Hejny won two state championships at Aledo and was the Star-Telegram Offensive Player of the Year in 2023.
