WSU adds safety Hunter Dale

During this brief layover at SeaTac I turned on my computer to discover that the Cougars have added a 25th player to their 2015 recruiting class. 

They're already calling us to board, but here is the release from Washington State:

Cougar Football Adds Hunter Dale to 2015 Signing Class
 
PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State head football coach Mike Leach announced Monday that safety Hunter Dale has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Cougars this fall.
 
Dale is a 6-0, 190-pound safety from New Orleans and was a four-year starter at John Curtis High School, helping the Patriots to three-straight 3A state titles his first three seasons. He earned All-State honors as a junior and senior and also helped the Patriots to an undefeated season and a national championship as a sophomore. He picked off eight passes as a junior and recorded 53 tackles with three interceptions this past season, helping JCHS to the 3A state title game. He finished his career with 16 career interceptions and 110 solo tackles.
 
Dale is rated a three-star prospect by ESPN.com. Scout.com and 247Sports.com and ranked the No. 81 safety prospect in country and No. 4 safety in Louisiana by Scout.com. Dale also plays baseball for the Patriots, recording nine doubles, two triples, one home run, 24 runs scored and eight stolen bases as a junior.
