When the Washington State Cougars signed less than a full recruiting class in February, it was assumed that new coach Jake Dickert would be filling it out a little bit at a time as opportunities came along. That’s proven to be true, as WSU added a pair of players to its 2022 class in the last few days: Defensive lineman Rashad McKenzie Jr. and kicker Colton Theaker.
McKenzie is a 6-foot-4/250-pound three-star defensive lineman from Bishop Alemany in Mission Hills, California, who is an exciting prospect. Beyond the fact that WSU seems to be on a never-ending quest for defensive linemen, McKenzie’s 247sports composite rating slots him as the 6th overall player in WSU’s class, and 3rd-highest high school recruit.
