The speedy wide receiver has already enrolled in classes at WSU and will sit out the coming season awaiting eligibility. He will have three years of college ball remaining.
"I want to be closer to home," LaRue told 247sports.com. "That's the big thing. I really enjoyed my time at Texas A&M but I'm just not happy there."
LaRue, who was an Under Armour All-American in 2013, caught 51 passes for 868 yards and 8 touchdowns his senior year at Samohi.
He was rated the No. 9 wide receiver in his class by ESPN.
