Three down, one to go.
Ayden Hector became the latest coveted recruit from a loaded Eastside Catholic team to find his collegiate home. The four-star recruit gave his verbal commitment to Stanford in a two-and-a-half minute video Monday evening.
Hector, a 6-foot, 198-pound defensive back, had narrowed his top five to Washington, Oregon, USC, Stanford and Alabama. With four defensive backs committed in Hector’s class already, Washington had thought to have cooled its pursuit of the local cornerback.
“Hector is strong in man coverage with a smooth change of direction,” national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman writes for 247Sports.
