Washington Huskies Football Signing Day 2022 – Some good, Some not so good
The February 2 College Football National Signing Day is in the books. We look at Kalen DeBoer’s first Washington Huskies recruiting class.
February 2 was Kalen DeBoer’s first National Signing Day as the Washington Huskies head football coach. He landed some good prospects that will help the team get back into the upper echelon of the Pac-12. But even with 13 players committed to UW, there is much more work left to do.
Here is a look at the Washington Huskies 2022 recruiting class.
Defense
The Huskies signed twin brothers Arvon and Jayvon Parker from Dearborn, Michigan, to the 2022 class on February 2. They both will likely redshirt in 2022. The Parker brothers are listed as 6’4″ and approximately 270-pounds. At this point, both will play at defensive tackle though if they can add a little more bulk, up one or both could play nose tackle.
DeBoer flipped Tristan Dunn, a four-star safety from Sumner High School. The defensive back was originally was going to sign with Arizona State decided to stay home and attend Washington.
Speaking of safeties, Demario King signed with UW just before Christmas. King is from Cerritos Community College (California), where he made second-team All-Conference last season. A move to linebacker may be in the cards for him. Another defensive back headed to the Washington Huskies is Jaivion Green from Houston, Texas. The Huskies also landed three-star defensive end Lance Holtzclaw out of Mesa, Arizona.
The Huskies picked up an important transfer for the defense. Cameron Bright, an outside linebacker from the University of Pittsburgh, should help shore up a shaky defense. Last year he had 53 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble for the Panthers.
