PULLMAN – Washington State’s class of 2026 has officially reached double figures.
The Cougars’ newest members include edge rusher Jacob Lopez-Veasey, whose commitment was announced Sunday by his father, Alfio, on social media. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, Lopez-Veasey took his official visit to WSU this weekend and capped it off with a pledge.
