Rancho Cucamonga (CA) 4-star tailback, Sean Dollars was in Seattle during the summer for the Rising Stars camp and had a good chance to see all the UW has to offer, and he says he’s coming back unofficially.
Dollars, who finished the season with 1103 rushing yards says he plans to come back to Washington and also wants to check out Utah.
“Not the numbers I wanted”, he said of those yards, “But it will do.”
Anything over 1000 yards rushing is a successful season for a running back, but Dollars is his own worst critic and pushes himself to go at a high level. This is what has landed him the eight offers he already holds: Washington, Oregon, Colorado, TCU, Nebraska, UCLA, Arizona State, and Utah.
The Huskies offered him after he put on a terrific performance at camp back in July, and both his mother and father were impressed by the academic and athletic atmosphere around UW.
“Washington was a great unofficial for me”, Dollars said of the July trip to Seattle, “I got to meet the whole coaching staff…all very good people.. Coach P is a great coach, and even more, a great person who cares about his players genuinely and cares about their academics, lifestyle, and wants to make sure they are built for life… getting the offer meant a lot because I was working hard for this one — especially with their OKG saying.”
Now, Dollars and Chris Petersen stay in touch on a regular basis and he’s also in continual contact with Keith Bhonapha.
“I love the way he recruits and it’s a family up there — he wants me to get back up there asap”, Dollars said of Petersen.
Oregon had also been a school that Dollars had a lot of early interest in, but with the coaching staff change, the one constant he has there is Keith Heyward, who he keeps in touch with still. But he didn’t mentino any plans to go to Eugene as of yet.
A second trip to Seattle could go a long way, however, in helping the Huskies’ cause.
Sean Dollars is 5-10, 185 and is a 4-star prospect. National databases list him both as a tailback and an ATH. Washington is looking at him as either/or, but primarily a tailback at this time.
