* Kjell Nesen, a redshirt freshman quarterback at Washington State, will transfer to another school, Coach Mike Price said Friday.

Nesen, from St. Francis High, was a redshirt last fall and was expected to battle for backup playing time next fall with freshman Matt Kegel.

Nesen, who lives in Westlake Village, was listed as the third-string quarterback coming out of spring practice.

“Kjell wants the opportunity to increase his playing time at quarterback and we certainly understand,” Price said.

“We will do everything to help him transfer to a school where he can contend for more playing time.”

The Cougars’ starter, sophomore Jason Gesser, will be backed up by Kegel, senior Paul Mencke and freshman Tali Ena.
