Washington picked up a big commitment from one of the state's top linebackers Sunday. Victor Burnett (Culver City, Calif./Culver City) took official visits to Washington, Oklahoma and Arizona before committing to the Huskies.
"I just bonded the best with the coaching staff there and that was a big deal for me," Burnett said. "They're such an intense staff and that stood out to me. I've seen a lot of improvement and progression this year with the team and I think the coaches will be able to get the most out of me as a player and person.
"I like the style of the defense they play and I'll also have a chance to play early and compete for a spot next season. I like the Pac-10 and Washington is a good academic school as well, so it's just a great overall fit for me and where I was most comfortable."
Burnett said he originally planned to take all five of his visits, but will not take his last two and is a solid commit to the Huskies.
