Kaden Elliss is returning to the NFL franchise that drafted him out of Idaho in 2019.

Former Washington State star quarterback Gardner Minshew is on the move again.

Former Eastern Washington star receiver Cooper Kupp has been the paradigm of selflessness and willingness to do everything on the field for the Seahawks.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Long before he turned his life over to football, Efton Chism III could really swing it. Playing baseball growing up, he found a niche in the outfield in the Monroe area, using his speed to patrol the green and his bat speed to rack up hits at the plate.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Even with the gear Kyle Williams is rocking on opening night at Super Bowl 60, a chance for both his New England Patriots and opposing Seattle Seahawks to meet with fans and reporters in a sprawling ballroom in the heart of San Jose, it’s clear he’s thrilled. The rookie wide receiver is wearing a thick pair of white Oakley shades and a ballcap over a do-rag, but when he’s greeted by a pair of reporters from Washington state, where Williams authored a sparkling two-year career, he knows exactly what to do.

All three of the area’s Division I football programs will be represented in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, when the Seattle Seahawks meet the New England Patriots.

Cooper Kupp (Eastern Washington) was a playoff star for the Los Angeles Rams during his eight years with the franchise. He was particularly impressive in the Rams’ 2022 run to a Super Bowl championship.

Two linebackers who played their college ball on the Palouse collected takeaways and a couple of locally produced rookie wide receivers made their first playoff catches during Sunday night’s game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers.

When he's not lining up at wide receiver for the playoff-bound San Francisco 49ers, Kendrick Bourne might be found in a recording studio.
