UW Huskies WR Chico McClatcher is back. But can he be better than ever?

Junior Adams recruited Chico McClatcher both at Eastern Washington and Boise State.

Four years later, McClatcher will finally play for Adams at Washington.

And that’s not even the improbable part.

After leading the Pac-12 with 18.5 yards per catch (to go along with 574 receiving yards and six total touchdowns) in his sophomore season in 2016, McClatcher’s junior campaign buckled under the weight of a torn ACL and a broken ankle. He temporarily left the team last October after producing just nine catches and 134 receiving yards in eight games.

The 5-foot-8, 183-pound senior admitted on Tuesday that a part of him considered calling it quits.
