First-year Washington State Cougars coach Nick Rolovich has a tall task in front of him: Assembling his first full class amid a global pandemic that has made on-campus visits impossible.
While the 2021 class got off to a slow start — not seeing its first pledge until the beginning of May — Rolovich and his staff secured a bunch of commitments in a short amount of time as more than half of the scholarships are now spoken for.
The current top player in the class is Jaden Hicks, a physical safety prospect from powerhouse Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas.
