Willie Rodgers, a three-star defensive end and one of the top uncommitted targets on their board, has verbally committed to Washington State, according to a Cougfan.com report ($).
The Saginaw, Mich. product, who took an official visit to Pullman two weeks ago, picked Washington State over offers from Arizona, Michigan State and others.
Roy Manning was the primary recruiter for Rodgers, who transferred to Saginaw, Mich. to Highlands Ranch, Colo. for his senior season. Like Rodgers, Manning is also a Saginaw, Mich. native.
New defensive line coach Jeffrey Phelps tweeted out late Monday that he was also in Michigan last night for an in-home visit with the newest Coug commit.
