Washington picked up its first commitment from an offensive lineman in the 2018 class when Arizona native Matteo Mele decided to pick the Huskies over in-state offers from Arizona and Arizona State. He took to his Twitter to make the announcement:
He thanked his parents, family, friends and coaches and then went on to say this in the tweet:
"With all this being said I am extremely excited to announce that I am shutting down my recruitment and am 100% committed to the University of Washington to further my football career and education!"
