Ethan Garbers saw his stock rise considerably following an impressive junior season last fall and recently surpassed the double-digit offer mark, but he’s seen enough from one suitor to make a commitment.

The three-star quarterback from Newport Beach (Calif.) Corona del Mar has given his pledge to Washington and tells 247Sports it was an easy decision given what the Huskies have to offer.

“Being able to go up with my family, sitting down with coach Chris Petersen and coach Bush Hamdan for breakfast, it was just a great experience and I knew it was the place to be,” Garbers said. “Being around all their coaches and on that campus, as soon as I got to see everything up there, it just clicked and I know it’s a great fit for me.

“I’m already excited to get up there and start competing as a freshman. Everywhere you go there’s going to be competition and I’ve never been one to run away from that, so I’m going to embrace it. I really like the offense and I feel like it's a great fit for what I can do, so I'm really excited.”

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound prospect holds 11 other scholarship offers, including Colorado, Georgia, Miami, UCLA, Utah and Washington State. He visited Seattle last month shortly after adding the offer from the Huskies to his list.

Garbers, who completed 67 percent of his pass attempts for 4,135 yards and 55 touchdowns with only eight interceptions in 14 games as a junior last season, becomes the second prospect in Washington’s 2020 recruiting class, joining three-star offensive lineman Gaar Memmelaar who came off the board last summer. Garbers’ brother, Chase, was Cal’s leading passer last year.

With his own commitment out of the way, Garbers said he can now focus on his helping the Huskies on the recruiting front.

“The coaches told me that quarterback is the biggest part of a recruiting class and now they can continue building around what they need,” Garbers said. “I’m only going to take visits to Washington. I know I’m taking one with my teammates Mark Redman and Bradley Schlom on the first week of April to watch a practice. I will probably be back for my official visit during the season and start working on some other recruits. Mark has an offer and obviously I've known him for a long time, so the pitch for me is about continuing that connection, keep doing what we've been doing and hopefully win a Rose Bowl one day."

The pro-style passer has been highly productive at the varsity level. He's calm in the pocket, puts the necessary touch on down-field throws and consistently hits receivers in stride. When routes don't develop and the pocket collapses, Garbers also shows a knack for being able to roll out and buy some time to generate positive plays. He rushed for six touchdowns as a junior.

Garbers is the nation's No. 25-rated pro-style quarterback and No. 51 overall player in California for the 2020 class, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings. He would be the first Southern California-based quarterback to sign with Washington since Troy Williams of Harbor City Narbonne in 2013.
