Aug. 17—PULLMAN — Last winter, shortly after Kirby Moore took over at Washington State and he was working with his new ****** istants to fill a depleted roster, he put heads together with new defensive coordinator Trent Bray.
At Oregon State, where Bray worked the past seven years, he was at his best with defenders who checked certain boxes .
Aggressive. Rangy. Lengthy.
"And CJ's got all that," Moore said.
That would be CJ Solis-Lumar, a cornerback who transferred from Cal Poly to WSU, where he has been repping with the Cougars' second-team defense in fall camp. On a sweltering Monday afternoon on the Palouse, Solis-Lumar punctuated fall camp practice No. 10 with a pair of pass breakups, denying WSU quarterback Owen Eshelman and his offense a chance to complete two passes across the middle of the field.

Aug. 2—Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of stories that will run each day previewing Washington State's preseason camp before it begins on Aug. 6. This edition covers the Cougars' cornerbacks.
PULLMAN — When September rolls around and Washington State players take the field at Husky Stadium to take on rival Washington, and when the Cougars' defense rolls out, good luck recognizing any of the players in the visitors' secondary.
That's because among the 32 transfers WSU landed over the offseason, several of them play cornerback, a position at which the Cougs desperately needed to restock. Head coach Kirby Moore and staff did well to do so, likely using connections like new safeties coach Greg Burns and cornerbacks coach Brandyn Thompson to land a couple players.
But who are the new guys in this position group? And how might they fare this fall?
Players who will be vying for starting jobs include Texas State transfer Khamari Terrell, Oregon State transfer Jalil Tucker, Cal Poly transfer CJ Solis-Lumar, junior college transfer Elmo Wharton and others. A few returners will be in the mix too — keep an eye on redshirt freshman Jamarey Smith, who started in the Potato Bowl last winter, plus Kai Rapolla and Ishmael Gibbs — but the biggest roles will likely belong to a combination of transfers.
