Washington State inked a trio of touted junior college prospects Wednesday, but they won’t be the only members of the 2017 recruiting class arriving on campus in January.
Neptune Beach, Fla., cornerback Zaire Webb and West Covina, Calif., cornerback Isaiah Love have each signed financial aid paperwork and will enroll early, a source says.
Webb, who committed to Washington State in August over North Carolina, BYU, Southern Miss and others, was in Pullman two weekend’s ago on an official visit.
"Washington State is in a special place for me because they were my first offer," Webb told Rivals.com in June. "They were the first team that pulled the trigger on me, so they are up there. I grew up watching Pac-12 football, so I have love for Washington State pulling the trigger on me."
Webb is originally from California.
Love, originally a three-star member of the 2016 class, greyshirted due to an injury suffered in a car accident; he is now healthy and expected to participate in spring football. He committed early to the 2016 class, about a month after WSU offered, before the Cougs experienced this run of success the last two seasons.
"I want[ed] to commit and get it over with," Love told Scout.com's Greg Biggins back in August 2015. "I really want[ed] to focus on school and healing my body, getting back to 100 percent. I've talked about it with my family and I think committing early will help me to focus on my top priorities and that's school and football."
With Webb and Love locked in, the 2017 recruiting class is now at 17 commitments and five signees. George Moore, a junior college offensive tackle, de-committed today.
Washington State linebackers coach Ken Wilson led the point on both Webb and Love.
