Eagles Land 300-Pound Offensive Lineman From Yakima

Drew Kok, a 6-foot-2, 300-pound offensive lineman from West Valley High School in Yakima, has signed a letter of intent with Eastern Washington, Eagles coach Paul Wulff announced Monday.

Kok, a first-team All-Mid Valley League selection on both offense and defense, caught the attention of Wulff and his staff at EWU’s 1999 lineman’s camp.

“We really liked his aggressiveness and size,” Wulff said. “We feel he’ll add some toughness and attitude to our offensive line.”

Wulff also announced the addition of five other incoming freshmen who will join the Eagles in the fall - Keith Garner, a 6-1, 205-pound All-Great Northern League linebacker from Chewelah; Martese Henderson, 5-8, 170, running back, Spanaway, Wash.; Mike Koenen, 5-10, 160, kicker, and Paul Terrell, 6-4, 215, tight end, both Ferndale, Wash.; and Neal Sharma, 6-3, 190, quarterback, San Jose, Calif.
