WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Washington State University's football program competes in the Pac-12 Conference as a Football Bowl Subdivision team representing Pullman, Washington, an institution founded in 1890 with a current enrollment of 31,471 students. Coach Kirby Moore leads a roster of 100 players through the fall season, operating within one of college football's premier conferences. The Cougars play their home games at their designated venue while maintaining the competitive standards expected of a century-old program integrated into the university's academic and athletic community.
Pullman's location in the Palouse region of eastern Washington has defined WSU football culture since the program's founding, with the university's agricultural heritage influencing its identity as a land-grant institution. The Cougars' 100-player roster represents a significant commitment to competitive football at the FBS level, competing annually against Pac-12 opponents in pursuit of bowl eligibility and conference championships. Under Moore's direction, Washington State balances the demands of maintaining a large-scale Division I operation while developing student-athletes within the context of a major research university.
