Early Signing Period started today around the nation, and the Washington Huskies Football Program took full advantage of it.
The Husky coaches were receiving NLI’s (National Letter Of Intent) from their commits as early as 7:00 am PT this morning.
Entering the day, the Huskies had 15 known commitments in the fold and by the end of the morning, they were able to sign all 15 of them.
It’s an impressive feat to have their entire recruiting class wrapped up in one day, and two months before National Signing Day on February 3rd.
It is a true testament to Washington head coach Jimmy Lake and his staff. Their relentless effort this past year to sign and recruit players during the pandemic was challenging.
The Huskies signed 7 players on offense, 8 players on defense, and 0 players on special teams to round out their recruiting class.
In the coming days and weeks, the Husky coaching staff may still have some recruits on their radar and could add more to this class.
We take a look at the current 15-member class of new Husky players and their bios…..
