After losing two defensive line recruits in the aftermath of former defensive line coach Joe Salave’a’s departure for Oregon, Washington State has restocked at that position.
Days after Dallas Deerfield (Mass.) Academy defensive end Dallas Hobbs committed to WSU, the Cougars earned a second verbal from a defensive lineman — Will Rodgers Jr., out of Arthur Hill (Saginaw, Mich.) High School and Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo.
Rodgers Jr., a 6-foot-5, 230-pound pass rushing specialist, played his first three years of football at Arthur Hill before transferring to Valor Christian for his senior season because he wanted to test himself against a higher level of talent.
