THE HEADLINERS

One of the nation's top prospects, regardless of position, the the 2020 class, the junior tight end is an athletic specimen who will surely jump out to viewers of the broadcast. Washington already has more than 20 offers, including Alabama, USC and Georgia and should have a hotly-contested national recruitment over the next year-plus.

A versatile offensive line prospect who translate to guard or tackle at the next level, Fautanu has a long list of offers, spanning from the Pac-12 all the way through the Big 10 and SEC to the ACC. He elected to put an end to his recruitment earlier this month when he committed to Washington.

Another talented member of Class of 2020, Pickett makes his living getting after the quarterback. A prospect who could play defensive end, defensive tackle or maybe even stand up and play linebacker at times, he gives offensive linemen headaches with his versatility and athleticism. Pickett has early offers from Arizona, Arizona State and Vanderbilt among others.

A prospect who first made a name for himself at the Rivals NewSpeed Combine in Los Angeles in 2017, Wiley is now a legit Power Five player as evidenced by his commitment to Minnesota. Wiley lines up at running back for his high school team but has blazing speed and could translate to a number of positions at the next level, including wide receiver or defensive back.

A tall, athletic offensive lineman, Yates just very recently made his pledge to the Mountaineers over Washington State, Utah and several other West Coast programs. He, along with Fautanu, are the leaders of the Liberty offensive line group and should play a key role in tonight's game.
