Theron West brings veteran all-purpose utility to WSU’s backfield
In his Washington State career through the 2024 season, Theron West has been more than a straight-ahead runner: he’s logged 25 carries for 106 yards, added 20 receptions for 169 yards and a touchdown, and even blocked two punts while forcing a fumble[1]. That profile screams versatility and special-teams grit—useful for a staff that wants a reliable, do-everything back with toughness and football IQ. The catch: he’s more of a complementary piece than a headline grabber, but that kind of steady, multi-role value can absolutely help a roster.
