The Washington Huskies are still looking to add a few prospects to the 2025 class, and one of coach Jedd Fisch’s top priorities is four-star safety Ladarian Clardy. Safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri did an impressive job developing a relationship with the product of Escambia High School in Pensacola, Florida, and has gotten the Huskies into his top schools
Clardy took an official visit to Seattle in May for Washington’s spring game and returned in July for Washington’s “Luau At The Lake” before setting his commitment date for September 21. His finalists are Florida State, Ole Miss, and Washington, but another SEC program seems to be making a late push.
“I have been talking to Vanderbilt for a couple of weeks now,” Clardy told On3’s Chad Simmons. “I’ve been talking to the whole staff, and they’ve been letting me know I’m the top safety on the board, so I want to check it out.”
He didn’t set a date for his official visit, but it could be as soon as September 6, as the Commodores are set to host Alcorn State over the weekend.
Clardy told Simmons that he’s also planning to take an unofficial visit to Tallahassee to take one final look before his announcement, which could rule out another trip to Seattle. He also knows exactly what he’s looking for in his potential college.
“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. And the main thing is I’m looking for a school that can help me get to the next level.”
