It's clear the University of Washington football team must be doing something right when, with snow on the ground in and around the Seattle area, the Huskies are able to land a running back from the desert.
On Sunday, 6-foot, 215-pound Jeremy Adeyanju, a 4-star player from the Phoenix suburbs revealed he has given his verbal pledge to the UW, choosing Montlake over the likes of USC, UCLA, Michigan, Iowa and others. He represents the second high-end runner in two seasons, joining 4-star Brian Bonner from Valencia, California, to pick the Huskies.Adenyanju hails from Sandra Day O'Connor High School, which previously sent edge rusher Bralen Trice to the UW and now the NFL. O'Connor His is named after the first woman supreme court justice, who died at age 93 on December 1, 2023, in Phoenix. While Adenyanju has all of the necessary rushing variables in established size and 11.5-second 100-meter speed, this back has shown he can pick up the tough yard, as well. As a junior last season, he ran 147 times for 1,167 yards and 15 touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards per carry, for a 3-8 team. He also caught 9 passes for 54 yards and a score.Adenyanju, who had 19 offers according to his 247Sports profile, is the Huskies' ninth commitment so far for this Class of 2027, just the third offensive player and the second from Arizona. He joins linebackers Isaiah Leilua from Anaheim, California, Titus Osterman from Kimberly, Idaho, and twins Ethan and Justin Coach from Bellflower, Calfornia; wide receivers Zarek Sidney from Goodyear, Arizona, and Braylon Pope from Sumner, Washington; edge rusher Matamatagi Uiagalelei from Santa Ana, California, and cornerback Maurice Williams from Graham, Washington. As far as recruiting website ratings go, Adenyanju joins Sidney are the only 4-star prospects in the fold. Broken down, the Huskies have four commitments from California players, two each from Arizona and Washington, and one from Idaho.Dan Raley has worked for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, as well as for MSN.com and Boeing, the latter as a global aerospace writer. His sportswriting career spans four decades and he's covered University of Washington football and basketball during much of that time. In a working capacity, he's been to the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, the MLB playoffs, the Masters, the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and countless Final Fours and bowl games.
