WSU will travel to New Jersey next season and the Cougars are already making some headway in the Garden State.

The Land of Hope and Dreams and Springsteens yielded a kicker for the Cougars on Monday, as Jarry Jones of Stanhope accepted an offer to join the Washington State football program as a preferred walk-on.

But WSU also lost a player yesterday, cornerback Kevin Griffin, who has left the program .
