The Washington Huskies know their hopes of another successful season starts with a strong 2017 National Signing Day on Wednesday.
There was no doubt the Washington Huskies proved that they were for real in 2016. Under Chris Petersen, the Huskies exceeded all expectations as a program and made it to the College Football Playoff. Although they lost in the Peach Bowl, there defense put on a show and the Huskies let everyone know that they’re going to be around for a long time.
With a strong season in the books, the Huskies are working on becoming a top landing spot for recruits under Petersen. They’re building something special and they have found themselves in recruiting battles with major programs for the best players. Their 2017 class could be one that ultimately puts them over the top down the line.
According to 24/7’s composite rankings, the Huskies have a staggering nine 4-star recruits and could potentially be in play for more. While they don’t have a recruit that’s in the top-100, they have so much depth to their class that they’re going to be loaded on both sides of the ball as these players get experience.

The Huskies have added a ton of skill players and some athletes to their roster. Petersen’s team have been fast and this class looks like more of the same. They have the No. 2 athlete in the nation and 110th recruit overall in Salvon Ahmed as the crown jewel of their class.
They also have a great local product in tight end Hunter Bryant. He is expected to eventually have a major impact on the offense and will be one to keep an eye on. The sheer depth of this class is staggering to think about. The Huskies are going to be great for a long time and a class like this one will help keep them near the top of their conference.
