Safety rotation highlights pair of ascensions in WSU's first victory of season
Summary
-
Against Duquesne, Washington State's Jalil Tucker dressed but did not play, leaving Smith outside with the returning Terrell. Jack Bal played some nickel, while Kyle Peterson and Trey Ridley took more safety snaps behind Jeremiah Bernard and Jaylen Thomas. Jshawn Frausto-Ramos was out of the rotation. These are game participation findings, not a new injury diagnosis or next-game clearance.
-
The Washington State review says Northcroft entered before Dees and played a few more snaps against Duquesne. This is actual receiver usage after Northcroft's earlier move into the two-deep, not a confirmed permanent promotion or an invented numerical snap total; the supplied article does not include the underlying snap-count tables.
-
The post-Duquesne review says Ellison appears to have moved ahead of Nylan Brown as Washington State's No. 4 linebacker. This is the writer's assessment of the current rotation, not an official revised depth chart, an injury explanation or a guarantee of future playing time.
