Four-star 2019 linebacker Daniel Heimuli joins teammate Noa Ngalu, signs with UW Huskies

Washington lost two starting linebackers this offseason, in Ben Burr-Kirven and Tevis Bartlett.

The Huskies had to reload.

Enter Daniel Heimuli.

A four-star recruit and 247Sports’ No. 9 inside linebacker in the 2019 class, Heimuli officially inked with Washington during a national signing day ceremony on Wednesday. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound linebacker chose the Huskies over Oregon, Alabama, Utah and more.

Realistically, though, it was always going to be Washington. Heimuli found a home in Seattle.

The Huskies will be happy he did.

“He’s got the versatility,” 247Sports national editor Brandon Huffman told The Times last month.
