After much thought and consideration with my family, I have decided to reopen my recruitment process and decommit from The University of Washington. I’m thankful for the opportunity to play there, but at this time I want to explore other options.

“After much thought and consideration with my family, I have decided to reopen my recruitment process and decommit from The University of Washington,” Lefotu wrote in a statement published to social media. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to play there, but at this time I want to explore other options.”

The 6-foot-4, 285 pound prospect took an official visit to Washington on June 24. He currently holds offers from programs including the Huskies, Arizona, Arizona State and Michigan State. Additionally, Texas A&M got an unofficial visit from Lefotu on Feb. 3.

Following Lefotu’s decommitment, Washington’s 2023 recruiting class includes 18 prospects. The group consists of four four-stars and 14 three-stars.

Washington’s class currently ranks No. 32 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 4 in the Pac-12. It is led by Lake Charles (La.) Lake Charles College Prep four-star cornerback Curley Reed, the No. 200 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.

The Huskies have two other top-300 recruits. They are San Jacinto (Calif.) four-star safety Vincent Holmes and Pittsburg (Calif.) four-star wide receiver Rashid Williams.
