Five-star CB among prospects to set official visit dates to Washington

The Washington Huskies were one of the first to secure an official visit from five-star cornerback Dijon Lee Jr.

June’s final weekend of official visits is once again shaping up to be an important one for the Washington Huskies. Coach Jedd Fisch has scheduled visits from three prospects who have stated their intentions to take an official visit to Seattle from June 21-23.

The first and arguably most important target the Huskies have been recruiting is five-star cornerback Dijon Lee Jr., who also scheduled an official visit with Georgia from June 7-9. The 6-foot-4, 190-pound product of Mission Viejo High School in California took an unofficial visit to Washington for the Huskies’ 36-33 victory over No. 8 Oregon in October and has been very vocal about his interest in the school.

After he cut his list to eight in January, the nation’s No. 24 overall player on the 247 Sports Composite also had a lot of complimentary things to say about Fisch’s staff at Arizona, which was also included among his top schools.

“I’ve been to Arizona three times and they’re one of the schools on me the hardest,” Lee told 247 Sports’ Greg Biggins. “I would say I talk with them and Washington more than anywhere else. [Assistant director of recruiting Armond Hawkins] was the first guy to offer me when he was at Colorado and then he picked things right up at Arizona. I love their defensive backs coach [John Richardson] as well. He’s a phenomenal coach and they always keep it real with me.”

Alongside Lee will be another cornerback, three-star Trestin Castro from Upland High School in California. Upland also produced running back Cameron Davis and former Washington wide receiver Taj Davis and the 6-foot-1, 160-pound defensive back appears to be the school’s next talented prospect.

Castro is ranked as the nation’s No. 591 prospect according to the 247 Sports Composite and also holds offers from Colorado, Minnesota, and USC.

Three-star running back Julian McMahan also scheduled his official visit for June 21 and the nation’s No. 46 running back according to 247 Sports appears to be high on position coach Scottie Graham’s target list. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound prospect holds just nine offers, but the product of Monte Vista High School in Danville, California, looks like he could be a big mover before his senior season gets underway.
