WSU football recruiting: Patrick Nunn commits to the Cougs

The Washington State Cougars picked up the 13 known commitment in their 2018 class when three-star prospect Patrick Nunn announced via Twitter on Sunday that he intends to play his college football in Pullman.

Nunn held offers from most of the Mountain West Conference, including Fresno State, San Jose State, Nevada, and Wyoming. So far, WSU is his only Power 5 offer.

Nunn is 6-foot-3 and 206 pounds, and while the recruiting services all have him listed as a wide receiver, he told Cougfan ($) that it’s undecided whether he will play offense or defense at WSU. At that size, it’s easy to see him lining up on the outside for Mike Leach (he’s comparable in size to current receiver Isaiah Johnson-Mack), but it’s also easy to envision him playing defensive back for Alex Grinch (perhaps as a larger nickel back or as a strong safety).

His junior year highlights, though, are all of him playing receiver.

If you made it all the way to the end, you’ll see him pancake a couple of guys while blocking — perhaps an indication of the strength the WSU coaches think they might be able to put to good use on the other side of the ball.

Here’s how the 2018 recruiting class now stacks up.
