Puka Nacua, nation's leader in receiving yards, commits to Washington

One of the nation's best all-around receivers is headed to Montlake.

Four-star recruit Puka Nacua, the No. 8 wide receiver in the 2019 class and the top prospect in Utah, according to 247sports.com, announced his commitment to Washington late Sunday night. Initially a USC verbal commit, Nacua didn't ink a pledge during national signing day last Wednesday as he continued to consider his options. The wait pays off for UW.
