You know what's interesting?

AFAIK, there's not been a peep from kelee ringo on social media.

Been all day and no congratulations ... props ... Nothing.

I mean, I don't know if they are good friends or not but usually when your high profile teammate commits you usually say something.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but ...

Or he just called or texted him personally. Not everything that’s to be done for the masses.

“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.

Wiltfong weighs in:

One of the jewels of this 2020 Washington recruiting class ranked No. 17 nationally by 247Sports is Top247 defensive back Jacobe Covington who gave his pledge to Chris Petersen and his staff over the weekend.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 13 cornerback in the Top247 Player Rankings, the Huskies land a future difference-maker in the secondary.

“First and foremost Jacobe is a very talented and very versatile defensive back,” Saguaro head coach Jason Mohns said. “He has the ability and been recruited to play corner, nickel and safety at the Power Five level. I think his position versatility makes him special.

“He’s 6-2, has great length very physical and can run. He’s a track guy, 10.9 in the 100, so he has top-end speed with great length and physicality.”

Covington’s other offers included Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee and USC among others. He comes from the same high school that produced Washington All-American Byron Murphy.

“Not only how Byron developed there as a player but more importantly on the personal level and I think that caught the attention of Jacobe and his mom,” Mohns said. “Coach Petersen and his Built For Life program and Coach (Jimmy) Lake and the way he’s developed DBs, I think Jacobe thought that was the best fit for him on and off the field.”

Covington is part of one of the best high secondaries in the country, sharing the third level with five-star Kelee Ringo, Cameron Nash who has D-1 offers, Top247 2021 Denzel Burke, 2020 safety Danny Rivera and 2022 Javen Jacobs who is an offered guy.

“Jacobe has great energy and he plays with passion,” Mohns said. “He likes to talk, he’s animated, he really and truly enjoys the competitive aspect of football. He’s the kind of guy you want in your corner. He has a short memory. He loves competition and he’s not going to back down from anyone’s best. He thrives in that position and we put him on an island, he thrives on that. He likes to have that pressure. Every day in in practice he’s covering Matt Polk our big-time (6-4) X receiver and they go at it and Jacobe never backs down. He has the right mentality to be successful, has a little swag and that alpha-dog mentality.”

According to Tracking Football, Covington has a Performance Athletic Index Rating of 5.0 which is the top score a prospect can have. In a nutshell, Tracking Football has an algorithm that gives prospects a PAI score based solely on what they did in the track or combine arenas while accounting for measurables and projected position on the next level. Working from a scale of 0 to 5, with 2.0 and above being called average, 3.0 and above being called above average, 4.0 and above rating as excellent, college coaches can use that chart and focus on evaluating film with this tool telling them exactly how athletic a recruit is.

Angulo compares Covington to another former Husky in Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sidney Jones.

"Muscular build with high hips and broad shoulders," Angulo wrote in his evaluation. "Tremendous length and physical upside. Very good ball skills and reach to limit passing windows. Aggressive defender in one-on-one situations. High comfort level in coverage, with the reactions to stick to wideouts. Versatility and size to play safety. Closes quickly on the football. Could improve tackling technique and be smoother through backpedal."

Sid Jones has a lil muscle. Kevin king, now there is a guy I might think I could beat in a fight if I was drunk. He’s a skinny wiry mf’er who would still stomp a mud hole in my face.

Love me some sid Jones and kev king.

“I really like the school. They’ve got a built-for-life program, so that helps you develop into a man outside of football.

Do you think having a built for life program helps make up for not having a p.e. program?

Angulo:

"I know Texas A&M had been pushing pretty hard for four-star defensive back Jacobe Covington before he committed to Washington last month and still was trying to get an official visit from the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro standout this coming weekend, but I'm told Covington is all Huskies and, as is the case with many other commits, won't be taking visits to other schools even though he's got three remaining slots.

Covington is looking to get back up to Seattle for the USC game."

“Not only how Byron developed there as a player but more importantly on the personal level and I think that caught the attention of Jacobe and his mom,” Mohns said. “Coach Petersen and his Built For Life program and Coach (Jimmy) Lake and the way he’s developed DBs, I think Jacobe thought that was the best fit for him on and off the field.”

Covington is part of one of the best high secondaries in the country, sharing the third level with five-star Kelee Ringo, Cameron Nash who has D-1 offers, Top247 2021 Denzel Burke, 2020 safety Danny Rivera and 2022 Javen Jacobs who is an offered guy.

“Jacobe has great energy and he plays with passion,” Mohns said. “He likes to talk, he’s animated, he really and truly enjoys the competitive aspect of football. He’s the kind of guy you want in your corner. He has a short memory. He loves competition and he’s not going to back down from anyone’s best. He thrives in that position and we put him on an island, he thrives on that. He likes to have that pressure. Every day in in practice he’s covering Matt Polk our big-time (6-4) X receiver and they go at it and Jacobe never backs down. He has the right mentality to be successful, has a little swag and that alpha-dog mentality.”

According to Tracking Football, Covington has a Performance Athletic Index Rating of 5.0 which is the top score a prospect can have. In a nutshell, Tracking Football has an algorithm that gives prospects a PAI score based solely on what they did in the track or combine arenas while accounting for measurables and projected position on the next level. Working from a scale of 0 to 5, with 2.0 and above being called average, 3.0 and above being called above average, 4.0 and above rating as excellent, college coaches can use that chart and focus on evaluating film with this tool telling them exactly how athletic a recruit is.

Angulo compares Covington to another former Husky in Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sidney Jones.

"Muscular build with high hips and broad shoulders," Angulo wrote in his evaluation. "Tremendous length and physical upside. Very good ball skills and reach to limit passing windows. Aggressive defender in one-on-one situations. High comfort level in coverage, with the reactions to stick to wideouts. Versatility and size to play safety. Closes quickly on the football. Could improve tackling technique and be smoother through backpedal."
I love me some sid jones, but muscular is not something I would refer to him as

Wiltfong weighs in:

One of the jewels of this 2020 Washington recruiting class ranked No. 17 nationally by 247Sports is Top247 defensive back Jacobe Covington who gave his pledge to Chris Petersen and his staff over the weekend.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 13 cornerback in the Top247 Player Rankings, the Huskies land a future difference-maker in the secondary.

“First and foremost Jacobe is a very talented and very versatile defensive back,” Saguaro head coach Jason Mohns said. “He has the ability and been recruited to play corner, nickel and safety at the Power Five level. I think his position versatility makes him special.

“He’s 6-2, has great length very physical and can run. He’s a track guy, 10.9 in the 100, so he has top-end speed with great length and physicality.”

“I really like the school. They’ve got a built-for-life program, so that helps you develop into a man outside of football.

Do you think having a built for life program helps make up for not having a p.e. program?
