Stanford's march to a potentially historically elite offensive recruiting class continued over the weekend with key developments in the recruitments of a pair of top-ranked prospects.

Foster Sarell, arguably the nation's No. 1 offensive tackle recruit - and perhaps the country's top overall player regardless of position - was admitted to Stanford on Friday. According to his mother, Pam, Sarell received the news via a phone call from Cardinal head coach David Shaw.

Sarell was perhaps Stanford's first real 2017 recruiting target. The Graham-Kapowsin standout took his first trip to The Farm at the end of his freshman year. A few months later, Cardinal offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren made the trip to Sarell's high school for an in-person evaluation. Stanford offered Sarell in the spring of his sophomore year, and the two sides have been building a relationship ever since.

Sarell does not have a timeline for announcing his decision, but his admission from Stanford ensures the Cardinal should remain a strong player for the duration.

The Washington native was not the only top-ranked recruit to get the green light from Stanford's admissions office over the weekend, however.

On Friday, longtime Cardinal tight end commit Colby Parkinson - arguably the best at his position in the nation - tweeted that he had officially gained admission into the university.
