Harrison Ashby considered himself a basketball player, so he gave up football after his eighth grade season.
But Capital head coach Todd Simis convinced Ashby to return to football for his senior season, and it’s proven to be a successful move for the senior.
Ashby committed to play football on a full scholarship for the University of Idaho over the weekend.
He caught 34 passes for 578 yards and five touchdowns for the state runner-up Eagles in 2016.
“Everyone was so welcoming, and it was just like a family,” said Ashby, who made an official visit to Idaho over the weekend.
