WSU linebacker Peyton Pelluer latest in family’s long line of Cougars

WSU linebacker Peyton Pelluer’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather also played for the Cougars. But when it comes to the Apple Cup, it was a little more complicated than that. His father, Scott, was an assistant at UW, and his brother Cooper played for UW.

When Washington State linebacker Peyton Pelluer walks onto the field at Husky Stadium on Friday, he’ll be channeling generations of Pelluers before him.

Peyton Pelluer is the youngest son of Scott Pelluer, who played linebacker for Washington State from 1977-80, the grandson of the late John Pelluer, who played end for WSU from 1953-55, and the great grandson of Carl Gustafson, a fullback for the Cougars from 1925-27.
