Ben Beatty impresses as WSU prepares for fall camp scrimmage

Washington State University prepares for its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday, where defensive end Ben Beatty is expected to showcase his skills. Teammate Linus Zunk highlighted Beatty, a third-year sophomore from Utah, as someone who deserves more attention after strong performances in practice. Following a season spent mostly on special teams, Beatty is now taking second-team reps and making plays in simulated sessions. The scrimmage will also provide insights into a competitive quarterback battle among Caden Pinnick, Owen Eshelman, and Julian Dugger, with unclear indications on who might secure the starting role. The Cougars are aiming for a solid performance as they transition into live action for the first time this fall.
