Cougs land a fourth soccer transfer in Jaiden McClellan

Washington State soccer announced the addition of a fourth transfer on Monday when Jaiden McClellan was officially announced by head coach Todd Shulenberger. McClellen joins the Cougs after spending the past two years at San Jose State and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

Originally from Portland, Oregon, McClellan was one of the top players in Oregon while playing for Jesuit High School. She led her high school team to three state championships in four years and was named an All-American her senior year in which she led them to the #1 ranking in all of high school soccer. She was also named their captain while also earning all-state and all-league honors twice. She spent time playing for the U-14 team United States National Team and attending the U.S. Youth Soccer National Training Camp.

Her first year playing for the Spartans, she started in 9 of their 10 games and found the back of the net once as a midfielder. She would go on and start in 24 games while appearing in 27 during her two years there. She would net another goal and her first assist in her sophomore season.

McClellan joins Brianna McReynolds (Oregon State), Lindsey Turner (UC Riverside), and Telly Vunipola (Syracuse) as offseason additions for Shulenberger and the Cougs. The four of them will join a Cougar squad that is looking to get back to the NCAA Tournament a year after their second round loss to Tennessee.

The Cougs finished last season with a 14-3-4 record that included two ties against top-10 opponents (#5 USC and #8 UCLA) and a 1-0 loss to #14 Stanford. They averaged 2.14 goals per game while allowing just 0.62 goals.
