Jul. 31—Editor's note: This is the third in a series of stories that will run each day previewing Washington State's preseason camp before it begins on Thursday. This edition covers the Cougars' linebackers.
PULLMAN — If there's such a thing as a breakout spring camp, when Isaiah Hung stood in front of a microphone on the sidelines of Rogers Field back in late April, he had just completed one.
Some six months after redshirting his true freshman year at Washington State, Hung looked sharp in the middle of the Cougars defense, using his physicality and speed to shine at linebacker. He was quick to identify lanes, quicker to deliver hits. He looked ready to earn a meaningful role.
Which brings us to WSU's fall camp, which begins Thursday. The Cougars have solid top -three options at linebacker: transfers Nylan Brown and DJ Warne plus veteran Keith Brown, who missed last season with an injury. But examine the rest of their linebacker corps and you might wonder about the team's depth at that position.
That's where Hung comes in. Could he provide the depth WSU needs at linebacker? As the Cougs' fall camp unfolds this August, his development is worth watching.
