Washington dipped into the Loyola High School (Pasadena, CA) a few years back and offered a corner a chance to walk-on. Fast forward to 2019 and that same “walk-on” has been on scholarship and making plays as a starting senior.
Loyola is the home of Myles Bryant, and it’s also the home of a 2021 corner named Zakhari Spears.
Spears committed to Washington today.
“I’ve met with and spoken to Coach Lake and Coach Harris on multiple occasions and its always pleasure”, Spears said, “The relationship is great.”
At 6-3, 182, Spears is a rangy corner who plays with a chip on his shoulder and hits like a brick. His closing speed is hard to miss. He’s a little similar to Kevin King after King went to corner, but Spears plays fast and physical and could wind up playing anywhere in the secondary under Jimmy Lake’s system.
