Meet The 2022 Washington Huskies Football Recruiting Class Signees

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 5 known commitments in the fold and by the end of the morning, they were able to sign all 5 of them.

It’s impressive that Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer was able to keep these commits, and two months before National Signing Day on February 2nd.

It is a true testament to coach DeBoer and his small staff.  Their relentless effort these past two weeks to hit the ground running during a transition was crucial.

The Huskies signed 4 players on offense, 1 player on defense, and 0 players on special teams to round out their recruiting class.

In the coming days and weeks, the Husky coaching staff will have some recruits on their radar and will add more to this class.

We take a look at the current 5-member class of new Husky players and their bios…..
