Washington State has landed a commitment from East Texas A&M forward Ronnie Harrison, the fourth addition to the Cougars' roster this offseason as they look to rebuild after losing 12 players, including 10 to the transfer portal.

Why it matters

With the departure of several key players, including leading scorer Ace Glass, WSU is in the midst of a major roster overhaul. The addition of Harrison, a versatile forward who can score and defend, is an important piece as the Cougars aim to reload for the 2026-27 season.

The details

Listed at 6-foot-8 and 210 pounds, Harrison started his college career at Tarleton State before spending last season at East Texas A&M, where he averaged 14.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.7 blocks and 1.2 steals per game. He shot an efficient 53% from inside the arc, though he struggled from 3-point range at 30%. Harrison figures to complement new additions RJ Jones and Lazerek Houston, both of whom are also capable scorers.

  • Harrison played the 2025-26 season at East Texas A&M.
  • He has committed to join Washington State for the 2026-27 season.
