Washington adds two high-caliber prospects to visit list

The Washington Huskies added two impressive prospects to their ever growing list of visitors.

The Washington Huskies coaching staff has done an impressive job securing official visits from some of the nation’s best high school prospects. On Friday, two more recruits announced their intentions to take visits to Washington in the coming months.

Three-star tight end Bear Tenney announced his spring visit schedule on Friday and also cut his list of nearly 40 offers down to five. He included coach Jedd Fisch and the Huskies along with the other four schools that he set visits with: Georgia, Colorado, Florida, and Utah.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pound product of Lehi High School in Utah is set to visit Washington on April 5 and is ranked as the No. 382 player in the nation by the 247 Sports Composite. With just three tight ends on scholarship before spring practice, Fisch and tight ends coach Jordan Paopao appear to be pushing to secure multiple commitments at the position and are zeroing in on Tenney as one of their top targets.

Washington’s latest addition to the coaching staff, linebackers coach Robert Bala, also secured his first official visitor on Friday. Four-star linebacker Matai Tagoa’i announced his intentions to take an official visit to Montlake beginning on May 31.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound prospect from San Clemente High School in California holds 24 offers and is ranked as the No. 72 player in the country by 247 Sports. Tagoa’i possesses top-end speed and athleticism and as he grows into his frame, he has the potential to be a productive player at the college level.

Both Tagoa’i and Tenney have the potential to be impactful players at the college level and as Fisch’s coaching staff builds its first recruiting class, they could be considered building blocks of Washington’s 2025 class if the staff can secure their commitments.
