Washington State Cougars Football

Anyone who knows about the Cougars

it now down  to the Pac-2 with them

and the Oregon State Beavers. At this

point no one knows whether the 

Conference expands or the two

teams join another conference. They

may have it figured out in the next year

or two or figured out for them.

The Beavers lost their head coach to

Michigan State and many of them

have transferred too. The Cougars

still have their head coach and many players to though top players did 

transfer to. I heard recently that the

teams will be able to psy their players

besides the NIL. How that will work

for the Cougars as well as the Beavers

we will find out. This won't be for 

football but all the sport teams though football will get the high percentage.

More news will come out on that too.

The Cougars will start with a  new 

quarterback. The number one quarterback

listed right now is John Mateer a redshirt

sophomore.  Backing him up is Zevi Eckhaus a senior from Bryant out of

the Big South. He was first team last 

year so we see if he steps up.

The offense line looks experience

so we will see how that goes. Playing

against Mountain West school for

the most of the games we will see.

How we determine will be seen at the

beginning of the seen including

playing the Huskies in Lumen Field

in Seattle.  We may know how the

Huskies are doing going into the

Big Ten as well the Cougars in their

competition. This should be interesting

fall for sure. I hope success for both

teams.

At running back expected to start Djouvensky Schlenbaker a redshirt

sophomore. He  played in 12 games 

with only 33 carries for 146. His

backup is expected to be redshirt

freshman Leo Pulalasi.

The Cougars will go again with

three wide receivers. At one receiver

soot will be sophomore Carlos

Hernandez who had 24 receptions

for 258 yards.  The most experienced

is Kyle Williams who had 61 catches

for 842 yards and six touchdowns.

We could see more this year as a

senior. The third receiver is Kris

Hutson a senior transfer from

Oregon. He played limited having

only one catch as a junior. Had 

a good year as a sophomore.

The Cougars have three receivers

who transfers this season to them.

Will let you know about them later.

At right end will be Cooper Mather's

a senior out of Odea high school

in Seattle.. He played in ten games

with 21 receptions for 251 yards

and one touchdown.

We will look at the defense next

time on the  Cougars.
