Huskies Go Shopping in Carmel, Offer 2025 Offensive Lineman

In this story:
Jackson Lloyd hails from Carmel, California, a coastal community filled with expensive shops, museums and artist enclaves, a town where Clint Eastwood once served as mayor from 1986 to '88.
It's located not far from the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links, which means the area is hardly known for its football, but the 6-foot-6, 290-pound Lloyd is trying to change that.
A three-sport athlete from Carmel High and the class of 2025, Lloyd is an offensive lineman who now has seven scholarship offers, one of the more recent coming this week from the University of Washington.
As he enters his junior season for his team called the Padres, Lloyd also holds offers from UCLA, Oregon State, California, San Diego State, San Jose State and Nevada.
After a great day of learning and competing, I am extremely blessed and grateful to receive my 5th Division 1 offer from the University of Washington. Thank you Coach @scotthuffUW and @KalenDeBoer for this opportunity.@UW_Football @PadreSports #AGTG pic.twitter.com/PuFpXNgZU5

In recent years, Carmel High has had its troubles just putting an overall football program together. In 2019, it didn't have enough players to field a junior varsity. COVID wiped out the following season. In 2021, the Padres won their season opener and than lost 46 players to the pandemic in a week.
Lloyd is part of the comeback, providing his team with a promising college football recruit now starting to pick up offers, with the Huskies among them.
