Carty, who has quietly been one of the best ever at the position on Montlake.Currently, the one prospect on their board that they have been very serious about is Servite (Anaheim, Ca.)
There wasn't a ton of drama when it came to Washington's 2020 recruiting class, but that doesn't mean it was an easy process for the coaching staff by any stretch.
Sure, body type will dictate a bit where each can play, but as we know with Washington likes their tackles to be in the 6'6" to 6'7" range, ideally, and they need to have good feet and be able to bend.Washington will likely take two true tackles in this class, but as mentioned above, they may wind up being players who can move inside if the need arises.Washington has only taken two backs over the past two classes -- That being said, they still need to add even more talent to the offensive backfield and they've already made offers to six tailbacks including The Huskies need a bruiser to go along with a shifty tailback in the class and they have targeted several players with different body types.They also have their eyes on a few other tailbacks including © 2005-2020 CBS INTERACTIVE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Outside of a few big names, Washington football has pretty much wrapped up their 2021 recruiting class Washington football has arguably more talent in their reach in the 2022 recruiting cycle than ever before.
Why do they need two?The Huskies like versatility in their offensive linemen and in the 2019 class, they got just that with We're still up in the air on where Kalepo and Fautanu wind up, but they will definitely get some looks at guard and JUCO signee That means, Washington may take up to two guards in the class.Washington already has a player committed in 2020 -- Following the 2019 season, the Huskies will lose their long-snapper, A.J.
There are a handful of prospects with Washington offers at almost every position and there are players who are still being evaluated as the Husky coaching staff goes through their process.Keep in mind, there will be a lot of changes to the roster over the next couple of months.
However, continued solid recruiting is a must, especially at a position as important as middle linebacker, so the Huskies will likely take at least one and possibly two middle linebackers, with the second one having the ability to play outside down the road.As we noted in the discussion about guards, Washington likes versatility in their linemen, so whichever players they wind up getting along the offensive line, there's no hard and fast rule where each will play. One of them was Jack Yary, who decommitted from USC and then recommitted a few months later after taking a visit to Washington. With that caveat in mind, here is a look at what we believe are the biggest areas of need and what recruits are being targeted thus far and which players could see their stocks rise before it's all said and done...Washington didn't take a tight end in the 2019 class and they need at least one and likely two in the 2020 class.
There wasn't a ton of drama when it came to Washington's 2020 recruiting class, but that doesn't mean it was an easy process for the coaching staff by any stretch.A big hurdle they had to overcome in keeping the 14th-best class (per 247Sports) together was the sudden retirement of Luckily, Washington athletic director Jen Cohen already had a plan in mind in case such a scenario came about and Lake and the rest of the assistants went to work almost immediately, reassuring the committed players that nothing was going to change.There was a little bit of babysitting that needed to be done with a few players, but for the most part, they were able to firm up everyone and get them signed.With 22 players in the boat, the Husky coaches then went on to focus on a handful of targets who make their decisions and sign in February.Unfortunately, they were not able to reel in any of their targets as tight end The late losses may seem like a failure to some, but overall, this class was a huge success because the Huskies brought in a lot of talent, especially on the offensive side of the ball, while filling needs along the offensive line and wide receiver as well as at linebacker and in the secondary.Lake and his staff also got to work by reeling in a really talented group of preferred walk-ons.They did lose one late in the process -- defensive tackle Washington got all of the in-state players they prioritized -- It was not all sunshine, rainbows and puppy dogs.
-- so this early view at the needs for 2020 is only working with the information we know and could completely change in the coming months. Offensive Guard.
There were some misses.Not getting a defensive linemen in the class isn't the end of the world, but that can be considered the biggest miss in the class.

It's still 10 months until the mid-year Signing Period for 2020 prospects begins and there will be a lot of twists and turns on the recruiting trail during that time, but we figured it is a good time to go through the team needs and what areas need to be addressed through recruiting and what early targets have made it onto Washington's radar.
