Adonyss Currie is a hard guy to keep up with. Not only is he super fast, with a 10.84 best in the 100-meter dash, he moves around a lot.

As a freshman, he played football and ran track for Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita, California, north of Los Angeles. 

This past fall, Currie he pulled on the pads for Cathedral High located in L.A. proper.

He's now listed at Quartz Hill High in Lancaster, which is north of all of these places — and he still has two more years of high school to go.

But any recruiters worth their salt won't let a little geography get in the way of an intriguing college football prospect from the Class of 2025.

Certainly not the University of Washington, which this past week extended a football scholarship offer to the 6-foot-3, 174-pound Currie.

So tall and fast, Currie lists as a wide receiver and defensive back, but it's hard to tell what the Huskies see as his best football position. As a Golden Valley freshman in 2021, he had 41- and 50-yard catches among 13 receptions that he hauled in.

Defensively, Currie showed off a great reach in defending passes but didn't seem all that physical as a tackler in his highlight reels.

It's clear that a whole bunch of high-level college football programs are more than willing to work with him. Seventeen schools already have offered scholarships to Currie, with Florida, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon and Penn State also among them.

Track clearly runs in his family, too. His older sister, Adonijah Currie, is a highly regarded sprinter at Arizona State. Could he ultimately join his sister with the Sun Devils? 

He has two full years to figure everything out. Catch him if you can.
