Defensive lineman Draco Bynum on Saturday became the eighth recruit in the Class of 2018 to announce his commitment to Washington, a pledge that helped solidify the Huskies’ strong start to this recruiting cycle.
It is still early in the process, but the early returns are overwhelmingly positive for the Huskies, whose 2018 class is so far ranked No. 8 nationally by Scout, Rivals and ESPN. 247sports ranks it No. 7 nationally.
Chris Petersen‘s first four classes at Washington were, by comparison, ranked 35th (2014), 23rd (2015), 29th (2016) and 23rd (2017) by Scout.
