Washington Huskies’ running backs coach Scottie Graham scheduled an official visit with a second running back prospect from California on Thursday, with Millikan High School’s three-star Anthony League. After setting up a visit with three-star Julian McMahan on Wednesday, Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff was quick to add League to its visitor list.
League, a product of Long Beach, is ranked as the nation’s No. 43 running back by 247 Sports after recording 1,118 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns during his junior campaign. He announced on X (formerly Twitter) that his visit will take place on the weekend of May 3, which is when Fisch told the media that he’s planning on holding Washington’s annual spring game.
Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon State are among the other schools that are in pursuit of the 6-foot, 200-pound running back who has a lot to offer at the college level.
He displays impressive balance and has a knack for creating his own holes in the offensive line, weaving through tight spaces at times to pick up additional yardage. He also has very good change of direction ability, planting his foot in the ground and cutting back with ease.

League also has very good long speed, which helped him average 9.6 yards per carry during his junior season. As he continues to develop as a ball carrier, he could become a promising big-play threat if he can learn how to efficiently eliminate angles from oncoming safeties.
The Huskies could see a lot of turnover at running back following spring practice and the 2024 season, which might signal that Graham is looking to take multiple players at the position for the 2025 class. With the way League has been prioritized so early in the cycle, it appears that he could be one of the coaching staff’s top targets.
