Texas defensive back commits to WSU

Spring, Texas cornerback Willie Sykes committed to play football at Washington State on Monday evening.

Britton Ransford of Rivals.com first reported the news , and says that Sykes chose the Cougars over scholarship offers from Purdue, Nebraska, Oregon State, Utah and others. Both Rivals and Scout.com rate Sykes as a two-star prospect but his scholarship offers seem to indicate he’s a good prospect.

Sykes is 6-foot, 180-pounds and is supposed to be very fast.

He is the third defensive back Mike Leach’s staff has recruited out of Texas, joining Charleston White and Darius Lemora.
