Four-star wide receiver Rashid Williams, from California, commits to UW Huskies 2023 class

The Washington Huskies have added their first four-star commitment to their 2023 class.

Pittsburg (Calif.) High School junior Rashid Williams, considered a consensus four-star wide receiver, announced his commitment to the Huskies on social media Thursday morning.

Williams is considered the No. 25 receiver in the class nationally by 247Sports.com, the No. 244 recruit overall and the No. 17 recruit in California.

He chose the Huskies over offers from 17 more Division I programs, including three SEC programs, two ACC programs and one Big 12 program.

He also held offers from several more Pac-12 schools, including both Bay Area programs in Cal and Stanford, as well as Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State and Utah.

Williams led Pittsburg in every receiving category last fall, hauling in 55 catches for 753 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games, per MaxPreps.

He is the fourth recruit to commit to the Huskies’ 2023 class, joining a trio of three-star recruits from California schools who committed earlier this year, including Bakersfield running back Tybo Rogers, Adelanto wide receiver Keith Reynolds and St. John Bosco linebacker Deven Bryant.
