Another scholarship player is headed elsewhere, according to an athletic department source. Ian Knight, a reserve buck linebacker who began his WSU career at defensive end, intends to transfer to another school, though his destination is not yet known.

Knight, a junior college transfer who redshirted last season and will be a fourth-year junior in 2012, spent the spring working with the No. 2 and No. 3 defensive units. He transferred to WSU from Butler County College after the 2010 season. … The other bit of news is that Mike Leach will add another member to his staff. CoachingSearch.com reported Wednesday that Jarrail Jackson , currently the receivers coach at Dartmouth, will join WSU’s staff in some sort of quality control capacity. While there’s been nothing official released by the school, a WSU source confirmed that Jackson will be added to the staff. Jackson was a receiver at Oklahoma in 1999, when Leach served as the Sooners offensive coordinator. … SBNation has a lengthy preview of WSU’s season. … A trio of WSU baseball players were drafted on the final day of the MLB draft.
