Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds was at Kennedy Catholic High School Friday when Sav'ell Smalls was presented with his game jersey for the 2020 Under Armour All-American game, which will be held in Orlando, Florida on January 2nd, 2020.
But Smalls had some other news to share too. He verbally committed to Washington over his other five finalists: Oregon, Florida State, Washington State, Tennessee, and Alabama.
The 5-star outside linebacker came full-circle in his recruitment. Washington was the first to offer him nearly three years ago, but when he cut down his list in the spring Washington wasn't on it. But the Huskies gave him some space, let him work things out, answered questions, and by the fall they were once again in the front of his mind.
Smalls broke down the reasons for the timing of his decision, what the rationale was for picking the hometown school, whether or not he'll sign in December, his relationship with Kennedy quarterback Sam Huard (a 2021 UW verbal commit) and a whole lot more.
"All my life I rep Seattle," Smalls said, responding to a question from the media. "I've repped it to the extreme. I've always said it's the best city in the world. There's no lie in that, and I still believe that, and I'm going to be at the Greatest Setting in College Football. So I'm excited."
