Kaleb Fossum’s biggest moment as a Washington State Cougar came on Nov. 12 last year, when he returned a 75-yard punt for a touchdown in WSU’s win over Cal and earned Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week honors.
But the Cougars will have to find someone else to return punts next year because Fossum announced via his Twitter account on Monday that he will transfer to Nevada for the remainder of his career due to financial reasons.
Fossum, a sophomore from Lake Forest, Calif. has been a walk-on at WSU for two years. He talked his way onto the travel squad by telling special teams coach Eric Mele that he could hold for the kicker on special teams even though he’d never actually performed that duty.
