Ajani Wrighster has a nice swing — from both sides of the plate.

For Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California, the switch-hitter also pitched and played shortstop for his 18-11-2 baseball team this past season.

His skill set is such that this junior-to-be committed to California nearly a year ago. 

For baseball.

Well, there is more to this 5-foot-10, 170-pound athlete than metal cleats and a batting helmet.

On Wednesday, Kalen DeBoer's University of Washington recruiters made a football scholarship offer to Wrighster, who also is a cornerback and a wide receiver.

The Huskies apparently spotted him at a football camp held last weekend in Northern California at Sacramento State, and defensive-backs coach Juice Brown followed up with the offer.

 

His baseball offer came following Sierra Canyon putting together a 26-4 season in 2022.

As for football, Wrighster played in eight games for a 10-5 Trailblazers team that lost three of its first four games before appearing in five playoff outings. He finished with 10 tackles and a pass break-up.

While he has plenty of baseball profiles online, Wrighster has no known football recruiting bio or other offers listed.
