Washington Huskies running backs coach Scottie Graham has a type when recruiting the position. Actually, he has two: thunder and lightning. His 2024 crop displayed a great combination of skillsets between Adam Mohammed and Jordan Washington, and he’s looking to do the same thing in the 2025 class.
Graham earned an early commitment from three-star Julian McMahan, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound prospect who does most of his damage between the tackles, and now is looking to add a speedster in three-star Quaid Carr.
A product of Servite High School in Southern California, Carr is ranked as the nation’s No. 68 running back by 247Sports and was originally offered a scholarship by Graham in March. However, despite offers from Washington and Utah, he committed to San Diego State in May.
Now, he might be reconsidering that pledge after taking an official visit to Washington to take in their 31-19 victory over UCLA. Carr possesses impressive track speed, clocking in at 10.74 seconds in the 100-meter dash.
If Carr does choose to flip to Washington, he’s a promising prospect who has all the makings of a change-of-pace back who can make an impact both in the backfield and on special teams. But, if Jonah Coleman chooses to return for his senior season, he might have to wait a while before he sees the field, as Graham has stockpiled an impressive group of running backs.
