Huskies Offer Another Arizona DB, From Covington's Neighborhood

The defensive back from Chandler, Arizona, is a little on the tall side, tends to play physical and can come up with the key interception when needed. 

The University of Washington football program had one of those of players until two and a half weeks ago, when sophomore cornerback Jacobe Covington headed for the transfer portal and wound up at USC. 

The Huskies are now seeking another in safety Genesis Smith, who carries a 6-foot-2 188-pound frame and likes to hit people, yet attends a different Arizona high school than the other guy, Hamilton rather than Saguaro.

Smith apparently knows Covington or knows of him from the neighborhood, because he retweeted Jacobe's farewell post that the one-time 4-star recruit was leaving the UW behind.

On Wednesday, Smith disclosed on social media that he has a Husky scholarship offer, his 13th overall. Smith has other offers from Arizona, Iowa State, Air Force, Rice, San Diego State and Washington State among his suitors.
