Unlike University of Washington, here in the Seattle area, WSU does not have a Jewish student body large enough or at least didn't when I attended in the early1980s to have real organized activities. For example, Jewish clubs, fraternities and sororities have not been apparent on the campus, although, Google indicates there is now an on-campus Hillel.
We did have informal meetups during the high holidays, usually at houses.
Therefore it is a pleasant surprise that Cougar starting quarterback Zevi Eckhaus is an observant Orthodox Jew. There is an article written recently on how he juggles basic challenges (college games are on Saturday's, the Jewish sabbath, often before Sundown), click here.

Maybe they can balance that out with Adventists, who have they same basic observance days and times.
