It’s a holiday weekend across the country, but that doesn’t mean the WSU football coaches took a break. Instead, they seem as busy as ever, landing three more verbal commitments.
On Friday, the Cougs received a commitment from California cornerback Warren Smith, a three-star prospect with reported offers from Washington, UCLA and three more Pac-12 schools. At the time of his commitment, Smith was the second-highest-rated commitment in WSU’s 2023 recruiting class according to the 247 Sports composite ranking. That lasted for 24 hours as he was quickly bumped to No. 3 in the class after the Cougars received a verbal commitment from three-star quarterback Sam Leavitt.
Leavitt is generally ranked as a high three-star recruit. His reported offer list includes Florida State and Arizona. Leavitt comes to WSU with some Cougar ties as he has been coached by Alex Brink.

Three-star linebacker Jailen Ruth from Florida also joined the class on Saturday. He recently took a visit to Pullman and didn’t waste much time making a decision.
With Rush, Leavitt and Smith in the fold, the Cougar 2023 class got a nice boost as the three now make up three of the four highest-rated commitments in the class.
The Cougs now have 10 verbal commitments for 2023 following a very busy June. At this rate, more than half of the class might be secured by the time fall camp begins.
