The Huskies got some good news from the desert when 3-star outside linebacker Lance Hotlzclaw from Desert Ridge HS, AZ committed to UW over offers from Vanderbilt, Boise State, Michigan, and Boston College.
Listed at around 6’4” and 200 pounds Holtzclaw is a good athlete that plays wide receiver as well as defense for his team. 247 Sports has Holtzclaw rated as the 37th best edge rusher and 10th best player from Arizona.
Last season, in a 6 game season, Holtzclaw was able to accumulate 27 tackles and 2 sacks. The Huskies love the athleticism that Holtzclaw brings and after a redshirt freshmen season he should be able to compete for playing time at outside linebacker.
