EWU football receives Jolley recruiting news
East Valley junior Tyler Jolley, an All-Greater Spokane League defensive end, has committed to sign with the Eastern Washington University football team in February, the school confirmed Thursday.
It’s the earliest commitment in the history of EWU coach Paul Wulff’s program.
“I just didn’t really see myself playing anywhere else,” said Jolley, who is 6-foot-3, 250 pounds. “I didn’t want to go into my senior year with that distraction.”
After five straight seasons of finishing just better than .500, the Eagles went 9-4 last fall, tying Montana for the Big Sky Conference title and advancing to the second round of the I-AA playoffs.
