Brian Greene, a former walk-on who was elevated to Washington State's starting center job last season, has been named to the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, the award given to the top center in college football.

In the wake of national laws that now allow college athletes to capitalize off name, image and likeness, Washington State's most recognizable football player has joined the ever-growing Cameo movement, and plans to share his earnings.

In less than a week, the Pac-12’s football coaches will convene in Hollywood for the conference’s annual Media Day event.

In 2017, Dallas Hobbs, blissfully unaware of the world he was entering and merely grateful for an opportunity to play big-time college football on a full-ride scholarship, jumped onto what the Washington State defensive lineman now describes as the “conveyor belt.”

A recent recruiting surge for Washington State's football program continued Tuesday night when Eric Wilder, a three-star offensive lineman from Utah, announced his commitment to the Cougars.

College athletes in Washington still can’t capitalize on their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), but Max Borghi and multiple high-profile athletes from the state are moving in that direction.

When Monday began, Washington State’s 2022 football recruiting class was four players deep. By the time it ended, that number had grown to six.
