    “I really like the school. They’ve got a built-for-life program, so that helps you develop into a man outside of football. After football, the education there gets you a job. I liked what coach Chris Petersen had to say about graduation and how that’s expected out of their players, so it’s a big selling point. My mom and I had a meeting with coach Petersen up there and it felt like family. We talked about everything. He’s a great dude, seems like a straight-up guy and I know I could go up to talk to him about anything if I ever needed him.”

    The 6-foot-1, 193-pound prospect had initially circled Oct. 1 on his calendar as the date he would announce a college commitment but later backed off that deadline. All nine votes in the 247Sports Crystal Ball were for Washington at the time of Covington’s commitment.

    Covington took officials to Oklahoma and Washington this off-season.

    “Coach (Jimmy) Lake told me he could really see me at the nickel spot and safety position,” Covington said. “All the defensive backs in their defense could play any of the positions, but they like me in a versatile role at nickel and safety.”

    With tremendous length and physical upside, Covington is known for his ball skills and aggressiveness in one-on-one situations. He has a high comfort level in coverage, with the reactions to stick to wideouts and the versatility and size to play either cornerback or safety. Covington closes quickly on the football and, although could improve his tackling technique and fluidity through his backpedal, is a candidate to be a multi-year starter at Power Five level.

    He's my third favorite west coast DB this year which is saying a lot.

    By the time he's done here he's going to be a second day pick, at worst.

    I'm amused by this because I had a boner in the pool yesterday.

    This is a bigger Budda Baker! If he works his ass off he’s going to develop into a 1st rounder
