2018 Three-Star OT Matteo Mele Announces Commitment to Washington

Washington has landed its first offensive line commit for the class of 2018, with three-star Tucson (Ariz.) Salpointe offensive tackle Matteo Mele announced his decision Monday afternoon.

Mele committed to UW over his two other finalists: Colorado and Oklahoma. The Buffaloes offered earlier this spring and were able to host Mele for a visit. Once the Huskies entered the picture his interest quickly grew, culminating in his visit last Friday and decision on Monday.
