Everett Herald on Austin Joyner recruitment

Scout.com ranks the 5-foot-10, 186-pound Joyner as the No. 29 cornerback in the nation and has the senior slated at No. 268 in its “Scout 300” list. ESPN.com ranks Joyner as the No. 1 recruit in Washington state and also has him at No. 268 in its “ESPN 300.”

“He's a football player. He's not just a running back or a quarterback. He's a football player,” Huffman said. “He'll specialize on one side of the ball, but he is too talented to keep off the other side. You look at what's happening now, especially at schools like Washington (with all-purpose athlete Shaq Thompson). (Joyner's) best position is running back, but he thinks his higher ceiling to playing at the next level is at cornerback. But I think his ability to make a difference is at running back. Teams just want to get him to come, and then they'll figure it out when he gets there.”
