Today, after a little bit of recruiting drama earlier in the year, the Huskies were able to sign 4-star defensive back Jacobe Covington from Saguaro HS, AZ.
After officially visiting UW earlier this summer Covington announced his commitment to UW over offers from USC, ASU, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. However after some personal events in his life Covington backed off his commitment for a while before re-committing to UW this past weekend.
Listed at around 6’1” and 195 pounds, Covington has said the Husky coaches are projecting him as a nickel back or safety in their defense and when you watch him play you can see why.
