    Helms is a lottery ticket. He's a far better athlete than the kid that just committed to OU and has a higher upside than Summerville.

    Helms is no Kyler Manu and could end up a dominating all conference player or he could Bryce Sterk and transfer to Montana.

    So he sucks until he don’t suck? Is dat wut you’re saying?

    Sterk made me flaccid. Helms does not but may end up making me stiff. Or not. Either way....

    Pics?

    Wait... we’re gonna sign someone who didn’t make his HS varsity team? Am I reading this correctly?

    Admittedly I’ve only scanned this thread because who cares.

    He transferred over from Germany and wasn’t allowed to play varsity due to the late transfer. He camped and got an offer from Penn State who saw him in person.

    You can reference me as the soccer superiority guy. It was kinda my thing for a long time and now I’m just balding with a beer gut and skinny legs.

    Yeaaaa, I want to be happy about this one but just not happening. Hopefully he kills qb’s in a few yrs.

    Buck room next year will be Latu, Trice, Smalls and Heims. Coach K has a lot of talent to work with.

    What about ZTF?

    Joe Tryon? Bueller? He isn't necessarily going pro. However, if he wants to reap and rape souls and go in the first 2 rounds, I'd allow it.

    This guy coulda been the next Manuel Neuer, and instead he’s going to play for our shitty football team. Not much of a thinker.

    Heims detailed several reasons why he chose the Huskies.

    “Washington felt like home for me,” Heims said. “I never had a chance to visit but doing the zoom calls and virtual tours, I got a really good feel for what the school was all about and it reminded me so much of Hamburg, Germany, where I’m from.

    “It’s a beautiful place with the lake running right up in to the stadium and all the trees and water everywhere. That’s what I’m comfortable with and I can’t wait to get out there and visit and see the school close up for the first time to get an even better feel for everything.”

    Heims said he connected really well with the coaching staff too.

    “I really like Coach K (Kwiatkowski) a lot,” Heims said. “He was the coach who offered me back in January and we have developed a great relationship ever since. I also talk a lot with coach Terrence Brown, who recruits my area and I like the direction the program is going under coach Lake.”

    Scheme fit was another plus for Heims.

    “I like the defense and their plan for me,” Heims said. “They want me rushing the quarterback and coming off the edge and that’s what I love to do. They like my frame and my athleticism and feel I can be a real impact player for them.

    “They can move me around but mostly want me off the edge and I’m really excited about it. This was definitely a family decision. My entire family is excited for me and will be out there with me as well. Academically, it’s a great fit as well. Washington is one of the top academic schools in the country so it was really a great all around fit in every way.”

    As for the timing of his decision, Heims said he had no reservations about committing early in the process before taking a lot of his visits and without even seeing UW up close.

    “It was important for me to commit in the summer,” Heims said. “I wanted to focus on taking care of my academics and staying on top of that. I also want to be able to concentrate on our football team at SM this fall and not have to worry about recruiting any more.

    “I know it’s early but the way I looked at it, there wasn’t a school that was ever going to be a better fit then Washington. I could have waited until December and I wouldn’t have found a school that offered everything UW did. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there was no need to put it off and I’m very excited and happy to be a Husky.”
