Apr. 16—PULLMAN — Washington State might have its next point guard. The Cougars have landed a commitment from Wake Forest transfer Sebastian Akins, he announced on social media Thursday, giving them a scoring punch and an important reinforcement from the transfer portal.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, Akins started his career at Denver before playing last season at Wake Forest, where he averaged 5. 3 points in 15. 2 minutes per game.
A starter in eight games, Akins shot an efficient 51% on 2-pointers last season with the Demon Deacons. Akins, the Summit League Freshman of the Year in his one season at Denver, is the fifth pledge of the offseason for WSU coach David Riley, whose staff has also secured commitments from TCU transfer guard RJ Jones, Central Missouri transfer guard Lazerek Houston, Manhattan transfer forward Fraser Roxburgh and East Texas A&M transfer wing Ronnie Harrison, the last of whom announced his decision on Wednesday. Akins spent much of last season as a backup, but when lead guard Nate Calmese (who spent the 2024-25 season at WSU) was injured, Akins filled in.
