Jedd Fisch’s class is up to 22 commits after four-star athlete Dylan Robinson announced his commitment to the Huskies on Thursday afternoon. He chose Washington over Notre Dame and UCLA and although he excels on both sides of the ball, will play cornerback for coach John Richardson.
“The way the staff worked at Arizona and built them up into a good team, it’s definitely exciting to envision what they might be able to accomplish in Seattle. The coaches are starting with a team that’s already good and they’re recruiting a great class,” Robinson told 247Sports’ Blair Angulo. “We are moving up — I truly believe their vision for the future fits with mine and I can’t wait to get started.”
Although he’ll mainly play cornerback, Robinson is also a very skilled wide receiver thanks to his elite ball-tracking ability and 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame and Fisch recognized that and may have some plans to work him in on the offensive side.
“Their plan for me is on defense first and receiver second, with the possibility of being thrown in some packages on offense,” he told Angulo. “I am a great fit for their scheme. It’s a Cover 2 defense with man-to-man corner responsibilities and they see me filling a dynamic role in the secondary. I’ll be a corner first and foremost, but they’ve said I could move around in some matchups. I love coach John Richardson. He was really excited when I called him up to commit. He couldn’t believe it and kept asking me if I was serious. He has so much contagious energy and I’m excited to develop under him at the next level.”
Richardson wasn’t the only one who was excited to secure his commitment, and Washington fans radiated his energy on social media.
