Cougars Land In-State Standout Jaylen McLaughlin

Washington State continued to build for the future with the commitment of Bothell guard Jaylen McLaughlin, one of the top basketball prospects in the Evergreen State and now a member of the 2027 recruiting class.

The in-state standout announced his commitment to the Cougars, giving Washington State a quality recruiting victory while keeping one of the state's best young players close to home.

McLaughlin has quickly emerged as one of Washington's premier guards thanks to his ability to both score and create for his teammates. At 6-3, he has the versatility to play either guard position, making him a natural fit in head coach David Riley's up-tempo offensive system.
