Floyd Chalk IV News, Rumors, Updates - San Jose State Spartans

Will redshirt and transfer Chalk (undisclosed) will redshirt San Jose State's 2025 season and transfer elsewhere for 2026, Nick Urias of 90.5FM KSJS reports.

Impact For 2025, Chalk has played the maximum number of games one can log before losing his redshirt. In the four games, he recorded 35 carries for 141 yards and two touchdowns.
