The Washington Huskies, and head Coach Chris Petersen, won a key recruiting battle today, when Jacob Kizer committed to spend his collegiate career in Seattle.
Kizer is a 6'5", 235 and still growing, athlete out of West Salem High in Salem, OR. He's only a 3 star prospect according to Rivals, but in the era of the spread offense, many programs have de-emphasized the position, if they haven't disregarded it altogether. As such, it takes a tremendous prospect, and usually one with a very good publicist, to bet more than 3 stars.
But as Oregon has shown everyone, even track-meet football can have a place for a big, fast receiver who can flat run over defensive backs, and block with the best of them.
