The Andre Agassi Foundation for Education is helping fund a third-party name, image and likeness program to financially benefit UNLV athletes. Bill Paulos, a longtime Las Vegas business executive and UNLV men's basketball booster, chairs the program called "Friends of UNILV." Blueprint Sports, founded in 2020 in Las Vegas with Agassi's financial backing, oversees the NIL program. Agassi's contribution was not disclosed. "The ability for Blueprint to work alongside Bill Paulos and the rest of the leadership for Friends of UNILV will bring equity and parity to student-athletes of all sports at UNLV," the tennis Hall of Famer and Las Vegas native said in a statement. "These student-athletes have worked tirelessly throughout their career to become a member of a Division I team, and I am excited to be a part of helping them learn about business and life with their personal brands."

Paulos said more than $150,000 has been raised since the program began in October, with more than $80,000 having been distributed to athletes through deals with businesses and nonprofit organizations. A new website will go online next week that will help connect athletes with business opportunities. Nevada law doesn't allow programs such as "Friends of UNILV" to coordinate with UNLV to establish NIL deals, though a state committee has been established to study the issue. Each state has its own set of laws regarding NIL, which has become a key recruiting tool in college sports. - Las Vegas Review Journal

06/06/22 - Kasen Kinchen, rJr/2026, Washington State, 5-10, 182 (DS#999 CB) + More +

Cornerback Kasen Kinchin tweeted that he will transfer from Washington to Washington State. The Lake Stevens, Washington, native and former UW cornerback spent the past two seasons with the Huskies but didn't appear in a game and entered the transfer portal in April. The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder signed with UW in June 2020 as a three-star recruit (247Sports) and a top-20 prep prospect in the Evergreen State. He picked the Seattle school over reported offers from Oregon and Cal. - Spokesman-Review

05/20/22 - Liam Ryan, rSr/2022, Washington State, 6-5, 305 (DS#38 OT) + More +

Longtime pillars on Washington State's offensive line, Liam Ryan and Abraham Lucas are reuniting in Seattle. Ryan signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent Monday - just over two weeks after Lucas was selected by the franchise in the third round of the NFL draft. Following the draft, the Seahawks asked Ryan to try out at their rookie minicamp. A three-year starter at left tackle for the Cougars who began his collegiate career at left guard, Ryan reportedly auditioned at both spots in Seattle and fared well enough to attain a contract offer. The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder is listed as a tackle on the Seahawks' roster.

He'll join Lucas, a right tackle and 42-game Cougars starter, on Seattle's 90-man roster when the team begins voluntary OTAs next week. Ryan emerged as a vocal leader and dependable piece on the left side of WSU's line as a redshirt sophomore in 2018 and ended up making 42 consecutive starts over the past four years. He played through a torn labrum for part of the 2021 season and missed the Sun Bowl on Dec. 31 after undergoing season-ending surgery. The hip injury affected his offseason training plan and Ryan was a limited participant at WSU's pro day March 28, but he put up a respectable 25 reps on the bench press. - Spokesman-Review

05/12/22 - Robert Ferrel, rSr/2023, Washington State, 5-06, 172 (DS#135 WR) + More +

Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward won't need to develop chemistry with the Cougs' newest receiver. Robert Ferrel, an elusive senior slotback who caught 109 passes from Ward over the past two seasons at Incarnate Word, announced his commitment to WSU on Tuesday evening over Twitter. The Cougars made the addition official the next morning. The 5-foot-9, 170-pound Ferrel came to Incarnate Word in 2020 and quickly became one of Ward's favorite targets. The two accounted for 1,289 yards and 15 touchdowns during their two-year stay with the FCS program in San Antonio. Ferrel led UIW in catches (35), yards (474) and touchdowns (six) in the Cardinals' six-game spring season last year, earning All-Southland Conference second-team honors.

In the fall, the Nevada native finished second on the team in catches (74), yards (815) and TDs (nine), and picked up another all-conference second-team nod. A first-team all-conference pick as a kick returner last season, Ferrel averaged 26.8 yards on six kickoffs - including an 81-yard return - and 11.2 yards on 14 punt returns.The pass-happy Cardinals rode an explosive offense to a 10-3 record and a berth to the FCS playoffs. In Pullman, Ferrel will rejoin his UIW coach and QB for a sixth and final college season. - Spokesman-Review

05/12/22 - Cam Lampkin, rSr/2024, Washington State, 5-10, 181 (DS#101 CB) + More +

Washington State shored up its secondary, securing a commitment from an experienced transfer cornerback in Cam Lampkin - a key defender for Utah State last season. Lampkin pledged to WSU on Tuesday evening, announcing his decision over Twitter. He signed his national letter of intent the next day. In Pullman, Lampkin will reunite with Ray Brown, who coached Utah State's cornerbacks last season then joined first-year head coach Jake Dickert's new WSU staff in January.

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Texan has two years of eligibility remaining. He started 13 games for the Mountain West Conference champion Aggies last year, totaling 43 tackles and finishing in a tie for the team lead with six pass deflections. Lampkin broke into the Aggies' first unit as a sophomore in 2020, starting four of six games. A three-star recruit (247Sports) coming out of Poteet High in Mesquite, Texas, Lampkin made two starts as a true freshman at Utah State and appeared in every contest. On his career, Lampkin has 73 tackles, 10 PBUs and an interception across 33 games. He helped Utah State hold its opponents to 230.9 passing yards per game in 2021. The Aggies ranked 62nd nationally in pass defense efficiency. - Spokesman-Review

05/11/22 - Calvin Jackson Jr., rSr/2022, Washington State, 5-09, 193 (DS#64 WR) + More +

WR Calvin Jackson Jr. drew motivation from disappointment and came away with an NFL contract. The former standout Washington State receiver had "high hopes" that he'd be picked up as an undrafted free agent shortly after going unselected in the NFL draft last month. "But it didn't work out in my favor," Jackson said by phone Monday. "So, I used that to fuel the fire. Any opportunity I got, I told myself that I was going to make the most of it, and I think I did that."

The New York Jets gave Jackson his chance and extended an invite to try out at their rookie minicamp, staged over the weekend in Florham Park, New Jersey. Feeling determined and underestimated, Jackson excelled at the three-day audition and the Jets asked him to come aboard Monday. "I went there and had a chip on my shoulder," he said a few hours after signing. "Every route I ran, every catch I made, every opportunity I got - I made sure to make the most of it and I think it showed. I think (the Jets' staff) saw it. And it's a blessing for them to see that and give me an opportunity, but the job's not done yet. I still have more to prove." - Spokesman-Review

05/04/22 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State, 6-3, 219 (DS#28 QB) + More +

Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, who transferred to WSU out of Tennessee ahead of last season, announced Sunday that he'd signed an undrafted free-agent deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Guarantano came out on top in a four-man QB competition at fall camp last year, but he sustained an injury early in WSU's season opener versus Utah State and backed up Jayden de Laura the rest of the year. Guarantano started in place of the injured de Laura in a 24-13 loss at Utah on Sept. 25. In three appearances as a Cougar, he passed 33 of 49 for one touchdown and three interceptions - all against Utah. Guarantano started 32 games across four seasons with the Volunteers, throwing for 6,174 yards and 38 TDs against 17 interceptions on a 61% completion rate. - Spokesman Review

NEC OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (COACHES): QB Zevi Eckhaus, Bryant,...Eckhaus was forced into action when Bryant's Opening Day starting quarterback suffered a Week 1 injury and the true freshman would soon shine in the spotlight.

11/26/21 - Max Borghi, Sr/2022, Washington State, 5-09, 210 (DS#27 RB) + More +

Travell Harris rode on the shoulders of the crimson fans that engulfed the field. Jayden de Laura waived a version of Ol' Crimson before spiking the unmistakable flag into the turf field. Even Butch, the Washington State mascot, took his turn crowd surfing on the field at Husky Stadium. After seven straight losses to its rivals, Washington State had a celebration to remember after the most lopsided Cougars' victory in the history of the rivalry matchup against Washington. "It's special. Coug Nation deserves it, this team deserved it, the seniors deserved it," Washington State running back Max Borghi said. "I can't really put words into it yet, it hasn't really sunk in. But holding that Apple Cup trophy is something we've all dreamt about and it was incredible." Borghi rushed for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and Washington State handed Washington a 40-13 defeat in the Apple Cup on Friday night.

The Cougars snapped a seven-game losing streak to their rivals, picking up their first win in the series since 2012 and first at Husky Stadium since 2007. And the Cougars (7-5, 6-3 Pac-12) did it in grand, record-setting fashion with a dominant and complete thumping that left those in crimson rushing the field to celebrate while those clad in purple made an early move to the exits. The 27-point margin of victory topped the previous high of 26 points when Washington State won 52-26 in 1973, a game also played in Seattle. "This win, it wasn't just for us," Washington State linebacker Justus Rogers said. "It was for the people that came before us, the teams that came before us that I've been a part of as well." Borghi scored on a 32-yard touchdown run on Washington State's opening possession and set the tone for the night. He added a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter and only the Cougars' inability to finish drives in the first half kept the game from being even more one-sided. De Laura hit 21 of his first 22 pass attempts and finished 27 of 32 for 245 yards. Dean Janikowski kicked four field goals for Washington State as well. - Washington State/AP College Football
