Washington football lands a big time athlete

Washington football just landed a big-time player in the form of Sawyer Racanelli, an incredibly talented athlete who can play on both sides of the ball. He’s starred on the field for Hockinson at wide receiver, linebacker, and defensive back.

At receiver, Racanelli caught 101 balls during his junior season for 1,764 yards and 21 touchdowns. On defense, he racked up 83 tackles, seven sacks, and two interceptions in his junior season. So the question for someone as effective on both sides of the ball as Racanelli is, where should he play?

Best Fit

While Racanelli was recruited by Junior Adams, his best fit might be on defense.
