This week California 2016 tight end Colby Parkinson added his second offer, from Tennessee. Washington was the first school to offer. As we've reported before Parkinson was born and lived his first few years in Bellevue, so he's got a connection to the area. But he left when he was fairly young and hasn't been back a ton. Still, the fact that Washington got into the mix so early means he thinks very highly of the program and is getting to know the program a lot better.
"Feeling wanted" is one of the biggest factors for Parkinson and Washington's coaches have definitely made him feel wanted.
"I love Washington," Parkinson told me this week. "I love the area and love the campus. Actually, I haven't been to the campus but I have heard great things about it. I remember great things about (Seattle) as a kid. I left before kindergarten but I still have great memories."
