Tight end Keleki Latu announced he will transfer to the UW from Nevada.
One of the most disappointing moments for the University of Washington football program came when promising edge rusher Laiatu Latu medically retired as a Husky in 2021, unable to continue because of a neck injury.
This Latu sibling was the third player of the day to reveal he was UW-bound, following news that Arizona wide receiver Kevin Green Jr. and running back Jordan Washington were transferring into Montlake. In this latest Latu, the Huskies will get a player likewise from Sacramento who spent two seasons at California before joining Nevada last year. Injured at times, he has career totals at the two schools of 36 catches for 434 and 2 touchdowns.One of his scoring grabs was a 3-yard catch against Fisch and Arizona in 2022, putting the Golden Bears ahead for good at 28-24 in the third quarter of a 49-31 victory for Cal.
Laiatu's injury had weighed heavily on all of the family members, with his football career seemingly ended in Seattle from a practice injury. He played well as a freshman in 2019, was injured in practice leading up to the COVID-shortened season the next year and didn't p lay, and then simply attended the UW in 2021.
