USC football recruiting: DE Laiatu Latu commits to Washington

Laiatu Latu was supposed to announce his college decision on New Year’s Eve, but plans changed for the four-star defensive end. Unfortunately for USC football, the change of plans was not in the Trojans’ favor, who missed out on the commitment.

The four-star prospect committed to Washington on Tuesday with a tweet, picking the Huskies over USC and UCLA.

The Trojans were considered favorites for Latu going into the weekend. However, an official visit to Washington made a huge impression on the Jesuit High School product.

Standing 6-foot-5, 237 pounds, Latu would have been a big pick up for the Trojans.
