Recruits Warming To Washington

But the coaching staff has been working hard to fill the needs for the team.  And they have some results for their tireless efforts. Per Washington.247Sports.com, the team has made seven offers, to prospects as far away as Texas, through Utah, California, and Idaho.   One prospect has committed to USC already. Tuli Letuligasenoa, a 6-foot-2 295 pound defensive tackle is happy to play behind nine players on the USC roster.  And after the Trojans poached Tuipolotu last season, he may not see playing time for several years.

The Washington Huskies have opportunities for the right players to get playing time. Soon. And still so far, no commits.

But the team is not flustered. In fact, the resolve is stiffening.  At some point, some prospects will look up and see that their football career needs great coaching, playing minutes, and national attention.  And those factors all max out with the opportunity with the Washington Football Team

The team is making inroads with two defensive tackles per Washington.247Sports.com.  They are Tommy Togiai and  Jackson Cravens.
