Washington Huskies Football Signing Day 2022 – Some good, Some not so good
Offense
The Washington Huskies originally signed six players on December 15, 2021; however, one dropped out. Germie Bernard, a highly regarded wide receiver from Las Vegas, Nevada, asked to be let out of his commitment to UW. He is now headed to Michigan State. How much of an impact a new head coach or the departure of wide receivers coach Junior Adams to Oregon made in his decision is unknown. Maybe the young man simply changed his mind.
Fellow wide receiver Denzel Boston locally of Emerald Ridge High School in Puyallup, a four-star recruit, decided to stay in the area, signing with his hometown Washington Huskies. He joins a very talented group of UW receivers. A pair of incoming transfers could make an impact next season for the Washington Huskies offense. As a freshman at New Mexico in 2021, running back Aaron Dumas rushed 136 times for 658 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Meanwhile, receiver Lonyatta Alexander comes in from Arizona State.
The Huskies signed four-star tight end Ryan Otton out of Tumwater, Washington. He’s the brother of Husky tight end Cade Otton, who is expected to be an NFL Draft pick in April. Another four-star signing was 6’2″ 275-pound offensive lineman Parker Brailsford from Scottsdale, Arizona.
Still in play
Josh Conerly Jr, an offensive lineman out of Rainier Beach in Seattle, is still the top recruit in Washington. He hasn’t decided on where he will play his college ball yet and doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to do so. Connerly’s preferred destination is the University of Texas, and now Oklahoma is hot on his trail as well. The Huskies’ offensive line needs an upgrade, and he would be a huge help. Last year the Huskies quarterbacks were sacked 23 times. Adding Connerly would make DeBoer’s first Washington Huskies recruiting class a success.
Absolutely love this rep by 2022 WR Denzel Boston (Brother of EWU STAR @AndrewCole_B)
Doesn’t let the DB dictate the depth of his route, gets inside and snaps it off to the High Corner.
Denzel is a match up nightmare in the slot. 6’4 but moves like he’s 5’10. pic.twitter.com/DOiOI88wty
