Jedd Fisch broke out a "Singing in the Rain" video clip for the first time on Monday on social media, with the coach signaling in a customized manner that a recruiting commitment had come in for his University of Washington football team.

Naturally, wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright hails from the warm-weather state of Florida by way of Arizona and doesn't typically need an umbrella.

Either way, the 6-foot, 190-pound pass-catcher visited the UW over the weekend with his parents and found everything to his liking, even the sunny but brisk weather, and came away pledged to the Huskies, giving them their fourth commit for the Class of 2025 -- all offensive players.

Vines-Bright, a 4-star receiver from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, joins previous Husky commits, all from California, in 6-foot-1, 215-pound quarterback Dash Beierly from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana; 6-foot-2, 195-pound running back Julian McMahan from Monte Vista High in Danville; and 6-foot-6, 275-pound Jake Flores from JSerra Catholic High in San Juan Capistrano.

This pass-catcher originally is from Tempe, Arizona, where he played for Corona del Sol High and caught 59 passes for 1,114 yards and 9 touchdowns, and will play his senior year at IMG Academy.

Vines-Bright chose the Huskies from among 21 scholarship offers, according to his 247Sports, recruiting profile, which included Florida, Notre Dame, USC, Michigan, Texas A&M and even former UW coach Kalen DeBoer's Alabama program.

He told multiple recruiting sites how Fisch and Arizona had given him his first Power 5 offer last year, how he likes his fit in the coach's NFL-style offense and how, being an Arizona native, he already was well acquainted with Husky freshman quarterback Demond Williams Jr., also from the desert.

"He loves it there and wanted me to join the family," Vines-Bright told 247Sports.
