PULLMAN – Seven months into his four years at Washington State, CJ Elleby has already become something of a trend-setter for the Cougars.
At a school that showed its appreciation for bold facial features this football season, Elleby’s novel hairdo could be the next thing Cougar sports fans latch onto in the wake of the Gardner Minshew mustache craze.
The freshman forward wears it short on the sides, tall and frizzy on top. Anyone familiar with Dragon Ball Z might think coach Ernie Kent recruited Elleby from an episode the popular Japanese anime television series.
And just like the curly black tufts on top of his head, Elleby’s game has grown at a quick pace this year at Washington State.
