Offensive guard Sam Taimani decided Saturday that he will play college football at the University of Washington, according to Blair Angulo of 247Sports.
Taimani emerged as a coveted prospect at East High School in Salt Lake City and worked his way into the conversation as one of 2018's top linemen. According to 247Sports, Taimani is a 4-star recruit who ranks as the No. 202 overall player, No. 7 guard and No. 4 player from the state of Utah in the class of 2018.
Per 247Sports, Taimani chose Washington over several other top programs, including Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama and Wisconsin, among others.
