2017 Washington Husky Recruiting Class Tracker January 25th
By Bret Stuter
Washington Husky Recruiting momentum is back on the upswing. But now the Washington Huskies recruiting is in a race against the clock. We’ll track updates as they happen
The University of Washington Huskies recruiting is in a very fluid state right now. Previously ranked as the 21st ranked recruiting class by ESPN , as well as the 18th ranked class by USA TODAY on Monday morning of Janurary 23rd, 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. Then, the team received good news in the commitment of defensive end Ali Gaye.
There are 17 commitments currently 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 comes from differing backgrounds, but all share the same future. They will be mentored, developed, and forged by Coach Chris Petersen into a valuable, integral component of a playoff caliber football team. Petersen has a knack for enriching young men’s lives, and performances. He’ll do the same with this class.
Enough Time Remains To Recover
Still, time is begining to wind down before the February 1st National Signing Day. And there is still hope for additional commitments. With one or possibly two slots remaining, fans hope for the news that someone new will step forward to join the Huskies in 2017. In fact, the Washington Huskies have 22 plus ONE players currently under consideration.
