SEATTLE — The “name” signed in coach Steve Sarkisian’s first full signing class at Washington is Nick Montana.
The surprise is Sean Parker.
Montana, the son of Hall-of-Fame passer Joe Montana, committed months ago. He is a quarterback from Westlake Village, Calif.
Parker, from Harbor City, Calif., spurned Southern California and Michigan late to choose the Huskies. He is rated among the country’s top half-dozen safeties.
The Huskies were still waiting on at least two national letters of intent as of noon Wednesday, but had signed 28 players on signing day. That’s three over the limit for initial enrollees in an academic year.
Washington is enrolling some early to count on last year’s class. It may gray-shirt, or enroll late, recently injured safety John Timu from Long Beach, Calif.
