Fisch's Huskies Show Lot Of Interest in Elite 2027 Recruit from San Francisco
Wesley Winn, a touted 2027 football recruit from Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco, knows it's early in the process, but says he's got a lot of interest in Jedd Fisch's University of Washington football program.
As a freshman this past season, the 5-foot-10, 165-pound Winn was solid on both sides of the ball. The two-way starter hauled in 33 receptions for 300 yards and a touchdown as a slot receiver and added an interception and a pair of pass breakups at cornerback during his first year of high school ball.
In August of his eighth-grade year, Winn received his first scholarship offer from Grambling State and offers have piled up since. He's already toured campuses at Georgia, Miami, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Washington, to name a few schools. He has more than 25 offers.
He first received an offer from Fisch's Arizona Wildcats back last June and has since been re-offered by the same staff at the UW once Fisch was hired as the new coach following Kalen BeDoer's departure to Alabama.
Winn told Matt Solorio of the Sports Illustrated network he plans on taking trips to see the Washington campus again this spring along with Tennessee and possible Florida.
Given he has three years of high school football left, he isn't necessarily a top priority for any school's recruiting efforts at the moment. Yet he mentioned how he continues to build a close relationship with the present staff at Washington.
"I know because I'm a 2027, it's definitely kind of hard, but I know the University of Washington," Winn said. "I really like their coaching staff and I've known them since Arizona, so I think that's one of the schools I really like right now. And then Colorado, I also like them a lot."
Winn shared that when Husky wide-receiver coach Kevin Cummings offered him at Arizona, a combination of his verified Rivals' times of 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash and his film spurred the offer.
While Winn lacks elite size, and he's got three years to grow, schools such as the UW are nonetheless bullish on his potential, given how fast he is and how his film grades out at this stage in his development.
