Trent Bray's Gritty Defense for WSU

About this episode

Trent Bray, the new defensive coordinator for Washington State football, is implementing a four-two-five scheme and gaining player support.

Trent Bray, the new defensive coordinator for Washington State football, is making waves in Pullman. The Pullman native and Oregon State alum, who was fired from his head coaching gig at OSU, was scooped up by WSUs first-year head coach Kirby Moore to run the Cougars defense starting in 2026. Brays defenses at OSU were stout, and hes the son of the late Craig Bray, a respected assistant who worked at both WSU and OSU. Players are buying in quickly, and Bray is installing a four-two-five scheme to lean on the secondary and D-line depth. Expect fireworks when WSU potentially faces OSU twice in 2026.
