Washington adds two new visitors to May schedule including an SMU commit

The Washington Huskies are attempting to load up in the defensive backfield, adding an SMU commit to the official visit weekend at the end of May.

Three-star safety Elijah Pratt announced his plans to take an official visit to Seattle to explore what coach Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies have to offer on Wednesday.

The former product of Timberview High School in Mansfield, Texas, transferred to powerhouse IMG Academy in Florida for his senior season, but is currently committed to return to Texas and play for SMU. Ranked as the nation’s No. 37 safety according to 247 Sports, he’s set to visit Seattle on May 31, when the coaching staff will be hosting a lot of its other top targets.

Safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri extended a scholarship offer to Pratt on February 23 and it took less than a month for him to set up a visit with the Huskies. Pratt holds 13 offers, including Auburn, Penn State, and Texas Tech and will join three other defensive backs on his trip to Seattle: five-star cornerback Dijon Lee, four-star cornerback Adonyss Currie, and three-star safety Rylon Dillard-Allen.

Pratt wasn’t the only prospect to announce his intentions to take an official visit, as three-star offensive lineman Peter Langi also scheduled his trip to Seattle for May 3.

The 6-foot-5, 330-pound prospect from Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco is ranked as the No. 38 interior offensive lineman in the nation by 247 Sports and is one of the most coveted recruits, holding 39 scholarship offers.

Alabama, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas are among the schools vying for his services and he has also announced his intentions to visit Arizona State on May 31. Langi is the third offensive line prospect to schedule a trip with offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll, following four-star Darius Afalava and three-star John Mills.

The coaching staff appears to be attempting to build a strong secondary and offensive line in the class of 2025 and both Pratt and Langi could emerge as big targets for the Huskies in the coming months.
