Once lacking recruiting interest, WSU’s Easop Winston Jr. is living his dream with the Cougars

Easop Winston Jr. dreamed as a kid of playing Pac-12 football.

But it sure seemed unlikely after he finished playing at Serra High School in San Mateo, Calif.

“I didn’t have any offers after my senior year,” said the Washington State junior receiver. “I played in all the games but I hadn’t hit my peak yet. I didn’t even have Division III (offers). No one came after me, so I knew I had to go the junior college route.”

That is what he did, and five years later, he is living his dream. He is fourth on the team with 44 receptions, for 561 yards, and is tied for the team lead with seven touchdown receptions.
