Academically, he is still just a junior at Bothell High School, and yet Jacob Sirmon is already deep into a graduate-level course in Advanced Quarterbacking at the University of Washington.
Sirmon, Bothell’s blue-chip quarterback, made a verbal commitment to the Huskies after his sophomore season in December 2015, the first recruit to join UW’s Class of 2018. In some ways, he already feels like a member of the team. Sirmon regularly visits the UW football offices to learn the Huskies’ playbook and break down film with coach Chris Petersen and offensive coordinator Jonathan Smith.
“In eight months I’ll graduate (from Bothell) early and become a quarterback at the University of Washington, so I’ve asked them to coach me and teach me like you would coach a quarterback on your (roster),” said Sirmon, rated as a five-star recruit by 247sports.
