Mitchell Agude, the UCLA edge rusher looking for a new place to land, will reveal his new school on Friday afternoon, choosing from among Miami, Oregon and Washington.

In another one of those drawn-out recruitments, the 6-foot-4, 245-pound senior spent the past month visiting his potential destinations and eliminated Tennessee from the mix.

Agude was a second-team All-Pac-12 selection for the Bruins, coming up with 54 tackles this past season, including 6.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks, and he forced 4 fumbles.

In a social media posting, Agude said will discuss his remaining options with family members and announce his decision at 3 p.m. PT.

While Agude no doubt would bolster the Husky defense, it won't be a huge blow to new coach Kalen DeBoer's program if he chooses to go elsewhere.

The UW has a number of edge rusher returnees in junior Zion Tupuola-Fetui, one-time Texas A&M transfer Jeremiah Martin and sophomores Bralen Trice, Sav'ell Smalls and Jordan Lolohea. All except Lolohea have started games for the UW.

In 2020, Tupuola-Fetui was a first-team All-Pac-12 player and he received second-team All-America accolades. 

Agude visited the UW on the weekend of March 5-6 and, while he posed for stadium photos holding an umbrella, the weather seemed to cooperate as he got the main tour.
