Three-star Oregon defensive back Myles Green-Richards verbally committed to the Washington State Cougars on Thursday, announcing his decision via Twitter. Green-Richards is the eighth known commitment to the 2018 class, and the third defensive back.
The Cougs are the only known offer for Green-Richards, who is from Eugene, although he’s been getting interest from the hometown Ducks and nearby Oregon State. WSU quickly offered following an impressive showing at a regional camp that involved a 4.52 laser timed 40-yard dash, and that early action appears to have paid off for lead recruiter Eric Mele.
Green-Richards told Cougfan ($) he was planning on waiting until his senior year to make a decision, but he obviously changed his mind.
"It felt right," he told The Oregonian. "The energy I get from them and their football staff and family feels like somewhere I want to be to further my academic and athletic career."
That speed and size fits right in with what the Cougars are trying to assemble on defense, where the coaches have taken to using the Twitter hashtag #SpeedD. Whether he plays corner or safety remains to be seen.
Here’s a look at how the class currently stands:
