WSU picks up two defensive commitments out of last weekend's group of visitors to Pullman
Earlier this year, Washington State lost its second game of the season to Boise State, but the Cougars have now managed to beat the Broncos for one coveted recruit.
Pocatello (Idaho) High defensive end Aisa Kelemete, who has been committed to Boise State since July, decided Monday to withdraw his commitment to the Broncos and verbally commit to the Cougars instead.
Kelemete announced his commitment on Twitter, writing, “Although I am verbally committed to Boise State University, I know Washington State is where I’m supposed to be,” before thanking Boise State for its interest and finishing things off with a “Go Cougs.”
