It’s been a good week so far for Washington State’s Speed D, and their recruiting luck continued Tuesday when Bleckley County (Ga.) high school linebacker Willie Taylor III committed to the Cougars a day after they got a verbal from defensive end prospect Will Rodgers Jr.
Taylor, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound outside linebacker from Cochran, Ga., got on the Cougars’ radar through his high school coach’s relationship with WSU defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.
Grinch recruited a former teammate of Taylor’s when he was at Missouri, and kept in touch with Bleckley County’s head football coach – Tracy White.
