In a move that seems to have caught most recruiting folks by surprise, the Huskies appear to have landed a punter for the 2016 class today:

Soderberg is a local product from Capital H.S. in Olympia, and was inspired to become a kicker from watching Josh Brown kick for the Seahawks in the 2006 Super Bowl. The kicking specialist recruiting site Kohl's lists him as their 16th ranked punter for the 2016 class.
