- Injury: PULLMAN -- It might not be this weekend, but a return for Washington State tight end Trey Leckner is getting closer to a return by the day.

- Washington State linebacker Isaiah Hung has 14 tackles, second on the team, with one tackle for loss and a pass breakup in 2026. The report describes his rise into a meaningful defensive role after playing only special teams in five games last season. These are current contributions, not an announced promotion or a guaranteed future snap share. - Hung describes the physical and technical adjustments behind his 2026 Washington State role: Bray wanted him at 225 pounds after he had been around 210, and the article lists him at 229. Hung credits Bray's emphasis on tackling angles and finishing perimeter tackles through the runner's knees. He does not report a new defensive package or position change.

- LB: The lines I read between all spring and summer (fall camp) read to me like he was failing to learn the playbook, and may have some work to do in that regard.

- Pick/market: PULLMAN -- If you have watched a Washington State game this season, you have likely seen No.

- OL/LB: I honestly believe if a person bet a $100 straight up against WSU for the remaining ten games they play this season that person would come out ahead.

- 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.

- QB/OL: The only thing I’m optimistic about going forward for the next game is that maybe the half time OL shuffle sticks and proves to be the answer.

- Pick/market: Jamey here with the thoughts from the weekend.

- Washington State's official notes confirm Jonny Lester started at left guard against Duquesne after starting the first two games of 2026 at right tackle. This documents an actual change in his starting position for that game, without identifying a permanent line configuration or a future starter at right tackle. - Washington State linebacker Isaiah Hung made his first career start against Duquesne, recording four tackles and a tackle for loss. The official postgame notes establish that game's starting assignment and contribution, not a promise that he will retain the job or receive a fixed workload.

- Pick/market: PULLMAN -- Tempo.

- RB/LB: At this point all I am wondering is when the coaches will come to the same conclusion.
