Troy Fautanu has narrowed his long list of choices heading into the high school football season and a source tells 247Sports that there is a front-runner among the group.

A new Crystal Ball selection is in for the Washington Huskies, one of the eight programs that the three-star offensive tackle from Henderson (Nev.) Liberty named as a contender for his commitment early in the summer.

A source close to Fautanu's recruitment believes that USC is the biggest threat to Washington and a decision might be revealed within the next couple weeks. The Huskies earned the most recent unofficial visit at the end of June.

"It's definitely the Washington staff," a source said. "They have made Troy feel like he's not only wanted, but needed."

"The visit I took there didn't surprise me because I knew what to expect with coach Chris Petersen," Fautanu told 247Sports after his trip. "I was very impressed with the program and Washington is climbing its way up there. I really liked the visit and being around some of the guys, meeting coach Scott Huff and getting a feel for everything in Seattle was great for me."

The Huskies currently hold commitments from offensive linemen Nathaniel Kalepo and Corey Luciano in the 2019 class, along with Sama Paama who has the potential to play at the line on either side of the ball.

If Fautanu commits won't be long until Buelow pulls the trigger for basically one more OL spot

This is the big question, are they taking one more or two more?

Two more would obviously make the most sense but we've taken less OL than made sense to me basically every year under Pete. A class of four (even if one is a JUCO) would be a step in the right direction, especially with those four, and with the possibility of Paama switching sides if needed.

5 if we can close Enokk, even though he’s a mission guy

Yessir! Ennok Vimahi would be the cherry on top with him going on a mission!

Or even better, with him changing his mind and not going.

Stash him. Let him physically mature. Take wright and ika in thus class

That's not the way it works though. Missions make kids less likely to succeed at the college level, not more likely.

Have there been actual studies about this?

I disagree with @89ute. His info is out dated. All the mormon kids I now get up at 5 am everyday for an hour of crossfit on their missions. They come back bigger and stronger then ever.
