Though the Pac-12 had only two teams, Washington State was highly competitive in 2024 and was in the College Football Playoff rankings until late in the season. The Cougars went 8-5 overall, ending the year with an appearance in the Holiday Bowl.
But that success led to Jake Dickert leaving to become the head coach at Wake Forest. Wazzu then hired South Dakota State head coach Jimmy Rogers to lead the program.
Those two moves explain a good portion of WSU’s transfer portal activity. Here’s a look at the players who have decided to join Washington State and who have chosen to leave the program this offseason, per 247 Sports.
