Coeur D'Alene (Idaho) high school four-star quarterback Colson Yankoff picked up an offer from Washington this week and wasted little time jumping on it.

Yankoff, a U.S. Army All-American, has committed to Washington and is the newest member of its class of 2018 commit list, as first reported by 247Sports.

“Washington has been in my top 3 from the very beginning of my recruiting process,” said Yankoff. “It would be redundant and obvious to talk about how accomplished the UW staff is. I value my education, playing in the PAC 12, competing for championships, and the absolute integrity of this coaching staff. This is about fit to me, and I do not believe there is a better fit in the country for me.”

The 6-4, 200-pounder made his decision and will shut down his recruitment at this point.

As a junior, Yankoff completed 271-of-400 passes for 3,129 yards, 27 touchdowns and 6 touchdowns. He also ran for 968 yards and 26 touchdowns on the season.

Yankoff will enroll early at Washington and arrive on campus in January.



247Sports national director of scouting Barton Simmons has been high on Yankoff for a very long time. He believes the Huskies are getting a special talent.

"This is one of the best quarterbacks in the 2018 class and his ceiling is as high as any in the country," said Simmons. "You look at his size at nearly 6-4, his athleticism with a 4.7 40 and a 39-inch vertical, and his production on the high school level, which has been outstanding. Then you take all of those things and you consider that this is a kid that can't throw year round due to the weather in Idaho. He's a multi-sport athlete that just finished his basketball season. He's a competitor and a winner. Combine all that and you realize that this kid is only scratching the surface on his development. He's a great fit for Chris Petersen and Washington, not only as a player but also as a person."

Washington now has two Top100 quarterbacks committed in the class of 2018. The Huskies landed Bothell (Wash.) high school five-star quarterback Jacob Sirmon back on Dec. 13, 2015. He is the No. 23 overall recruit nationally, No. 3 pro-style quarterback in the country and No. 1 prospect in Washington from the class of 2018.



Yankoff chose Washington over offers from Cal, Duke, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Oregon, TCU, Tennessee, and many others.



Per 247Sports, Yankoff is the No. 85 overall recruit in the country, No. 4 dual-threat quarterback nationally and No. 2 prospect in Idaho from the class of 2018.
