COLLEGE FOOTBALL: SEP 10 Portland State at Washington

Too low to find my way,

Too high to wonder why.

I’ve touched this place before,

Somewhere in another Dots.

Washington received a flurry of commits over the past days, and Christian Caple has you covered with a look at each one, including comments from their high school coaches.

The most recent commit came in last night, from Portland’s Elias Johnson, a 6-3 cornerback prospect.

Coach Tarr threw out the first pitch for the Mariners last night:

Washington is projected to play in the Fiesta Bowl by Athlon.

Husky Stadium makes this list of toughest places to play in 2023.

Some terrific data and analysis here on NILs:

In a report published today, Opendorse projects $1.175 billion to be spent on NIL in 2023-24, with $595M on P5 football teams.

Opendorse projects the average P5 collective budget to be between $5-10M with G5 collectives at around $1-2M.https://t.co/OR10GQhYYo pic.twitter.com/DECaYCSWBj
