Fa'amoe has 19 starts over the last two seasons for the Cougars. Each of those came at right tackle for the 6'5" 314-pound Samoa native.

Gushiken had a strong first season in Pullman after transferring from Saddleback College. The Maui native had 36 tackles, a sack, and interception, which he returned for a touchdown against UCLA in 2023.

Malani made 24 tackles for WSU in 2023 with four tackles for loss and sacked an opposing quarterback 2.5 times.

Webster was a two-time all-conference selection at Utah Tech and joins the Cougs for the 2024 season. He had 161 tackles with 14.5 sacks over the last three seasons.

Williams caught 61 passes for 842 yards with six touchdowns for the Cougs after transferring from UNLV prior to last season.

The 2025 Reese's Senior Bowl is scheduled for February 1, 2025 in Mobile, Alabama.
