Washington State continued to send out offers over the last 24 hours, including a big offer out in Hawaii to Honolulu (HI) St. Louis guard Nate Herbig. The 6-foot-4, 320-pound offensive guard prospect is rated two-stars by Rivals and also holds an offer from San Diego State.
Herbig was a star at the Los Angeles Rivals Camp, earning top offense honors following the event. "Herbig was too big for linemen that tried to go through him and even those that attempted to get around him found the task difficult," Rivals analyst Blair Angulo said. "He traveled a long way to showcase his talents and that mission would certainly be deemed a successful one, as Herbig demonstrated the strength to lineup against anyone."
The Cougars also extended an offer out to Rialto (Calif.) Wilmer cornerback Marcus Strong yesterday. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound defensive back also holds an offer from Oregon State. I'll work on getting comment from strong shortly.
A name to watch in the future is Lompoc (Calif.) outside linebacker Toa Taua, who picked up his first offer from Washington State today. He's a 2018 prospect, so it's unlikely you'll hear much in terms of his recruitment for a year or so, but the 5-foot-10, 190-pound sophomore-to-be is a monster on film. He's going to be a good one.
The Cougars may be on the outside looking in as they try to land Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco cornerback Traveon Beck, who listed Washington State in his top five with a decision looming tomorrow.
However, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound defensive back, rated three-stars by Rivals, is likely down to Cal, San Jose State and Arizona State, per a source. The Golden Bears, who came in with an offer this week, and ASU both look good in his recruitment.
That's all for now.
