Chaston Ditta News, Rumors, Updates - North Texas Mean Green | FOX Sports

Loses battle for QB1 Ditta will not be North Texas' starting quarterback Sept. 5 at Indiana for Week 1, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Even though Ditta holds experience from his time at East Carolina, North Texas' coaching staff opted for the more experienced Tayven Jackson to start under center at Indiana, the latter's previous college as well. Considering that Ditta's first-year experience is just under 25 pass attempts, there is a legitimate chance that the sophomore quarterback can surpass his previous season's statistical production even if Jackson maintains the QB1 role long-term. With the Pirates, Ditta completed 12 passes for 215 yards and three touchdowns.

Battling Jackson, Jimerson for QB1 Ditta is in a quarterback battle with Tayven Jackson and Chris Jimerson for North Texas' starting quarterback job, per Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

Impact Ditta, an ECU transfer, saw mop-up action with the Pirates last season to the tune of 215 passing yards and three touchdowns on 12-of-24 passing. He's certainly not a favorite in this competition, as Jackson appears to have the inside track given his experience at the Power Four level. Still, the Mean Green coaching staff is keeping this battle open as fall camp approaches.

Part of North Texas Ditta is part of North Texas' roster, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.

Impact North Texas' team recently began its spring camp, and Ditta is a participant. On the field for drills Friday morning, he aims to supersede Tayven Jackson as the UNT squad's primary quarterback. During 2025, Ditta logged 14 completed passes for 215 yards and three touchdowns.

Heading to portal Ditta has entered the transfer portal, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Ditta appeared in four games as a true freshman, serving as the backup to Katin Houser, who transferred to Illinois this offseason. Ditta started in ECU's bowl game, completing eight of his 17 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns. He'll look to parlay that bowl-game success into a better opportunity via the transfer portal.

Start with two touchdowns Ditta was 8-for-17 passing for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 23-17 win over Pittsburgh. He also had 10 rushes for -17 yards.

Impact For most of 2025, Ditta logged a backup role behind fellow quarterback Katin Houser, who did not play East Carolina's bowl game to focus on the transfer portal. Selected over Mike Wright, Ditta took advantage of his newfound situation by logging two touchdowns without any interceptions. Whether he retains a QB1 role remains uncertain, considering the bowl game also showed there are still improvements needed on pass accuracy (47.1 percent), pocket movement (10 carries for negative yards) and ball protection (one fumble lost).
