by Lance Mijares

The Colorado Spartans have received a huge boost to their playoff aspirations with the return of star quarterback Jason Whittaker. Fresh off a stellar 2023 season where he earned the title of National Arena League (NAL) Offensive Player of the Year, Whittaker is set to bring his game-changing skills back to the field, donning the Spartans' blue once again.

Last season, Whittaker dominated the NAL, leading the league in total passing yards with an impressive 1,684, averaging 187.1 yards per game, and throwing for 33 touchdowns. His pinpoint accuracy and ability to make clutch plays made him one of the most feared quarterbacks in arena football. With Whittaker back in the fold, the Spartans are poised for a deep playoff run, fueled by one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

Beyond the stats, Jason Whittaker’s true value lies in his leadership. A player’s player, Whittaker thrives under pressure and has a knack for staying cool, calm, and collected in the most intense situations. He’s the type of player coaches dream of — one who leads by example, responds well to adversity, and rallies his team to perform at their best when it matters most.

With Whittaker’s return, the Spartans have their sights set on nothing less than a championship. The team and fans alike are excited to see him back in action, leading the charge as the Spartans make their push for the playoffs and beyond.

Arena football fans, get ready — the Colorado Spartans are back, and with Jason Whittaker at the helm, they’re ready to take the league by storm!
