01/08/23 - Kyle Williams, rSr/2025, Washington State + More +

Washington State restocked its receiving corps, securing commitments from two Division I transfer pass-catchers who played significant roles at their previous stops. Former UNLV standout Kyle Williams and Josh Kelly, a big-play threat at Fresno State over the past three years, both pledged to WSU's football program on Saturday. WSU shored up a shorthanded position group just one day after announcing the hiring of new offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, who led Western Kentucky to a highly productive season in 2022.

Williams and Kelly, considering their experience and production, should be expected to contend for first-team responsibilities next year in Arbuckle's modified version of the Air Raid. Williams registered 1,568 yards and nine touchdowns on 117 receptions across 25 games over the past three seasons. A graduate of St. Monica Catholic High in California, Williams broke into the Rebels' starting lineup as a true freshman in 2020. He earned the Mountain West Conference's freshman of the year award after leading his team with 426 yards and two touchdowns on 35 receptions during the six-game campaign. - Spokesman-Review

12/20/22 - Ron Stone Jr., rSr/2024, Washington State + More +

WSU's defense loses a host of veteran pieces, including its three top linebackers, most of its depth at defensive tackle and a team captain in the secondary. All-Pac-12 linebacker Daiyan Henley is off to the NFL. Standout nickel Armani Marsh and cornerback Derrick Langford Jr. are graduating after three seasons in the starting lineup. DTs Christian Mejia, Antonio Pule III and Amir Mujahid are gone, too. Nusi Malani, a rotational DT this year who logged two sacks, should capture a starting job next year. The most encouraging news of the offseason so far: Jackson and fellow All-Pac-12 "edge" Ron Stone Jr. confirmed they will be back in 2023. WSU's edge-rushing room is well-stocked for the future. Two first-team safeties will presumably return, along with Chau Smith-Wade, who emerged as one of the Pac-12's most proficient coverage cornerbacks this year. - Spokesman-Review

11/19/22 - Nakia Watson, rSr/2024, Washington State + More +

Nakia Watson scored two touchdowns and Washington State intercepted former quarterback Jayden de Laura four times in a 31-20 Pac-12 road victory over Arizona on Saturday. Watson scored on a 4-yard pass from Cameron Ward in the first quarter and on a 2-yard run in the second, giving him six scores in the past three games. He finished with 86 all-purpose yards for the Cougars (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12). De Laura, who transferred from WSU in January, was 28 of 46 for 357 yards with a rushing and passing TD. He was the 2021 Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year with the Cougars and threw four TD passes against Arizona (4-7, 2-6) last November. Ward was 25 of 36 for 193 yards and a TD and ran for a season-high 59 yards including a 17-yard TD. He entered the game with eight rushing yards all season.

WSU led 21-6 at the half and extended that lead by picking off de Laura on three consecutive possessions. Sam Lockett III returned an interception to the Arizona 19, setting up Dean Janikowski's 23-yard field goal with 4:45 left in the third quarter, and Derrick Langford Jr. picked off de Laura and returned it 35 yards for the TD and a 31-6 lead 36 seconds later. Lockett got his second pick with 1:13 left in the third, diving for an overthrow at the WSU 4. The Cougars went up 7-0 less than four minutes into the game on Watson's TD catch, then made it 14-0 midway through the second quarter on a 17-yard Ward keeper. After Arizona cut the deficit to 18 on a 38-yard Tyler Loop field goal, WSU made it 21-3 on a 2-yard Watson TD run. The Wildcats made it a two-score game at the break with a 47-yard Loop field goal. Arizona failed to score in the first quarter for the first time in 2022, going without a TD in the first half for the first time since last season's finale. Both its TDs came in the fourth quarter, including a 47-yard scoring catch by Dorian Singer, who had nine receptions for 176 yards. - Washington State/AP College Football
