Washington State opened last season with three-straight wins, including a victory at No. 19 Wisconsin, and captured three of its final four games to reach a bowl game, the Jimmy Kimmel L.A. Bowl, for the seventh-straight season, the second-longest current bowl streak in the Pac-12 Conference. The Cougars, who went 7-6 including a 4-5 mark in Pac-12 play last season, again were strong defensively, finishing in the top four of numerous Pac-12 categories, including second in Red Zone defense and tackles-for-loss, third in scoring defense and turnovers gained, and fourth in sacks. WSU also led the Pac-12 in Red Zone offense. In 2022, WSU had 10 All-Pac-12 selections including honorable mention quarterback Cameron Ward and second-team selection EDGE Ron Stone Jr. while safety Jaden Hicks garnered third-Team Freshman All-America honors. Head coach Jake Dickert has guided WSU to back-to-back bowl games and begins his second full season leading the Cougars.
 
Washington State is scheduled to begin fall practice Wednesday, August 2. A full practice schedule will be announced at a later date.
