Washington Huskies commit Zac Stascausky has seen a miraculous rise over the summer. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound offensive tackle committed to Minnesota in June but quickly flipped to Washington after visiting Jedd Fisch and his coaching staff during the “Luau At The Lake” at the end of July.
Then, Stascausky’s stock shot into the stratosphere. He was upgraded to a four-star prospect by 247Sports just a few weeks into his senior season, and then he received offers from Georgia and Oregon.
Now, Fisch and offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll will have a battle on their hands to retain Stascausky’s services. The product of Central Catholic High School told Andrew Nemec on ESPN’s 1080 The Fan that he plans to visit both schools before signing day, but they aren’t at the top of his list right now.
“While they’re both big offers, just because it’s Oregon and just because it’s Georgia doesn’t mean they jump to my No. 1,” Stascausky told Nemec. “Washington is still my school, I still plan on going there. I’ll have to look at these other schools and take an official [visit] to Georgia and probably take an official to Oregon, but right now it’s still Washington.”
He added that he hasn’t set official visit dates yet with either school but went on to discuss how Fisch’s coaching staff made a lasting impression on him, and he was very complimentary of what the Huskies are building.
“They do a really good job of showing you everything as it is, and it doesn’t feel fake,” Stascausky continued. “When they’re telling you they’re going to develop and they play young players, and they’re telling you about their culture and how they do things, it doesn’t feel like somebody’s fabricating things you’re not going to see in two years when you’re committed and going to the school.”
