One of their top recruits and most significant wins in the 2020 cycle, what should Washington football do with Myles Murao when he gets to campus?

Scott Huff did an amazing job on the recruiting trail in the 2020 class, and Myles Murao is arguably Washington football’s biggest recruiting win when you look at the area he grew up in, and especially where he went to high school. He’s Washington’s top-rated offensive line recruit, and is arguably the most polished high-school offensive lineman the Huskies have pulled in a long time.

So, what should the Huskies do with him in 2020? He’s currently listed as a center, and the Huskies are losing an All-American center to the NFL in Nick Harris. So, with Murao set to arrive on campus in January, should he be the starter when the Huskies take the field against Michigan? I’ll lay out all the facts and let you decide.

Murao is currently rated as the country’s #1 center by 247 Sports and is a top 100 player in their composite ratings. He also checks in as the third-highest rated offensive lineman to ever sign with the Huskies as long as the ratings have been done.
