Hello again Husky fans. The Huskies got some excellent news today when former Arizona linebacker Jacob Manu committed to UW after visiting this week. Manu, who is coming off of an ACL injury had 47 tackles this year to go along with 3 TFL’s before being hurt against Colorado in October. Last season for the Wildcats he accounted for 116 total tackles, 9.5 TFL’s and interception. Coming out of Servite HS, CA Manu was rated as a 3 star linebacker by 247sports.
Heading into the 2025 season the Huskies were in need of a starting caliber linebacker with the departure Drew Fowler (graduation), Alphonzo Tuputala (graduation), Carson Bruener (graduation), and Khmori House (transfer) and Manu fits the bill perfectly.
