Juco corner Derrick Langford commits to WSU

He’s tall, and he comes from a school that has served WSU well.

The Washington State Cougars picked up their 18th commitment in the 2019 class when junior college defensive back Derrick Langford announced via Twitter that he was committing to WSU.

Langford reported receiving his offer from WSU on Wednesday. It looks like it was the one that he was waiting for.

It appears Langford has not been evaluated by any of the major recruiting services, but he did carry scholarship offers from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Hawaii Warriors. He comes from City College of San Francisco, which also brought Easop Winston Jr., Anthony Gordon, Robert Valencia and Robert Taylor to WSU.

Langford is listed at 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds by 247Sports, and he’s reported to have been a full qualifier out of high school, which means he’d have four years to play three seasons. It also means that he’s eligible to enroll at WSU for second semester and participate in spring practices.

He’s the second defensive back commit in this class, joining three-star recruit Armauni Archie.

Here’s a look at his highlights from this season:
