2017 Washington Husky Recruiting Class Tracker January 24th
Washington Husky Recruiting momentum has his a snag. But now the Washington Huskies recruiting must kick it into overdrive to recover and perhaps make up even more ground. We’ll track updates as they happen
The University of Washington Huskies recruiting has suffered a setback. Previously ranked as the 21st ranked recruiting class by ESPN , as well as the 18th ranked class by USA TODAY, the Huskies had to keep a stiff upper lip as 5-star rated defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu revoked his April 2016 commitment to the University of Washington and jumped aboard USC. The news came just eight days before the 2017 class becomes official on National Signing Day.
There are 16 commitments to the 2017 recruiting class. Embedded in the number are the hopes and dreams of seventeen young men. They all share a passion for the competitiveness and athletic demands of college football. Each recruit will be mentored, developed, and forged by Coach Chris Petersen into a valuable and integral component of a playoff caliber football team. Petersen has a knack for bringing young men further than expected. He’ll do the same with this class.
Enough Time Remains To Recover
Still, there is time remaining before the February 1st National Signing Day. And there is still hope for additional commitments. With one or possibly two slots remaining, all eyes are glued to the chance update than someone will step forward to join the Huskies in 2017. In fact, the Washington Huskies have 22 players currently under consideration. So The Husky Haul will continue to track these uncommitted prospects daily until National Signing Day.
If you learn of anyone who plans to commit to UW or that the Huskies have expressed interest in, just leave the information in the comments section and I will include it in the next update:
