A big day for Washington State Cougars defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and company as they land a big commit out of the Bay Area. D’Angelo McKenzie, a 6’, 180 pound, three-star safety, committed to Washington State over numerous offers, including ones from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the UCLA Bruins.
McKenzie’s long recruiting offer list also included the likes of the Arizona State Sun Devils, Utah Utes, Oregon State Beavers, and Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors. Brandon Huffman also rated McKenzie as the fifth best defensive back out west in the 2018 recruiting class, citing his ability to play at either corner or safety.
