PULLMAN – There’s lots to like about this Washington State offensive line, position coach Jared Kaster will tell you, but the group’s depth and versatility stands out most in his mind.

PULLMAN – Off John Mateer’s hands, the throw looked like a gem. The ball came soaring in a tight spiral from the south end of Rogers Practice Field to the north end, a toss so pretty that even before Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams sprinted under it and caught it in stride for a touchdown, it always looked destined for a breathtaking ending.

PULLMAN – Last summer, when Ethan O’Connor arrived on Washington State’s campus, he felt untouchable.

PULLMAN – Over the weekend, Washington State hosted a few alumni of its football program, among them cornerback Marcus Trufant and wide receiver Gino Simone.

PULLMAN – The schedule for Washington State’s next men’s basketball season is starting to come together.

PULLMAN – Washington State is preparing for wide receiver Carlos Hernandez, a returning starter, to miss at least one game with the foot injury he suffered in Saturday’s practice.

PULLMAN – John Mateer had seen enough. Washington State’s redshirt sophomore quarterback, one of two vying for the Cougars’ starting job this season, watched true freshman Evans Chuba release a wobbly throw during a drill in Monday’s fall camp practice.

PULLMAN – The next chapter of Washington State men’s basketball is here.

PULLMAN – Above all else, Washington State wide receivers coach Nick Edwards tends to stress one theme to his players.

PULLMAN – One of Washington State’s premier wide receivers will miss significant time with an injury. Sophomore Carlos Hernandez, a returning starter, will be out “for a while” with a foot injury, head coach Jake Dickert said after Monday’s practice. Hernandez suffered the injury during Saturday’s practice. Dickert did not provide any timetable for Hernandez’s return, saying the team’s medical staff is still evaluating the injury. WSU completed its fifth day of fall camp on Monday, leaving two weeks of camp remaining. The Cougars’ first game of the season is at home against FCS Portland State on Aug. 31. Hernandez established consistent playing time as a true freshman last season, recording 24 catches for 258 yards with a long reception of 48 yards. He logged two games last season with at least five catches, and he registered 77 receiving yards in a win over Colorado. Before the injury struck on Saturday, Hernandez had been practicing with the first- and second-team units. Headed into this season, he was in line for an even bigger role, standing out among a group of newcomers at the position. Now uncertainty hangs over Hernandez and his injury situation. “We’re still going through the medical deals with that,” Dickert said.

PULLMAN – During a break in Washington State’s fall camp practice on Saturday, the Cougars’ fifth , defensive tackles coach Pete Kaligis approached head coach Jake Dickert. The team was practicing inside run plays when Kaligis noticed something.

PULLMAN – Earlier this summer, Washington State offensive linemen Devin Kylany and Landon Roaten went to the Snake River to go camping.

PULLMAN – During fall camp, Jake Dickert walks a fine line like a trapeze artist. Washington State’s head coach wants the most out of his offense and his defense, but when they’re competing against each other, someone has to lose.

PULLMAN – During the first nine weeks of last season, Stephen Hall played 33 snaps against FBS competition. The Washington State cornerback was all but buried on the depth chart, hearing his number called only in lopsided games, and it didn’t help that his Cougars were mired in a long losing streak.

PULLMAN – Jake Dickert used a certain word to describe the athleticism of one of his Washington State team’s newest additions, linebacker Wesley Steiner, a transfer from Auburn.
