By: Hayden Wysup

Jaylen Wells, one of the Cougs' newest transfers, is a junior entering his first year here at Washington State, however his path here isn't like most.

Jaylen played high school basketball at Folsom High School in Sacramento, California. However, Jaylen didn't make his school's varsity roster until his junior year. Jaylen described his early time in high school basketball as, "freshman year I was 5'8, all I did was shoot and stand in the corner. I was on the JV team and was probably the 15th man. Then my sophomore year I still didn't start on JV.
