The Washington Huskies are still in hot pursuit of four-star safety Ladarian Clardy, who was originally slated to commit on August 3 but decided to postpone. Now, he’s set to make his announcement on September 21, a day after his brother’s birthday.
“I am working on my schedule now to take some visits before I commit,” Clardy told On3’s Chad Simmons.
That schedule could include another trip to Washington after the four-star product of Escambia High School in Pensacola, Florida, took an unofficial visit to Seattle for Jedd Fisch’s “Luau At The Lake” on July 26. Along with the Huskies and his lead recruiter, Vinnie Sunseri, he’s also looking heavily at Florida State and Ole Miss.
“What’s most important to me is the school that can develop me on and off the field. I also want to be part of a team that’s a brotherhood,” Clardy said. “And the main thing is I’m looking for a school that can help me get to the next level.”
With a month to go before his announcement, all the recruiting services seemed to be aligned, projecting him to land in the SEC with coach Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, but don’t count Washington out just yet.
If the Huskies can get Clardy on campus for a game, Fisch and Sunseri are going to give him a hard sell on early playing time and the versatility he can play with in defensive coordinator Steve Belichick’s scheme.
