Ahead of Monday’s College Football Playoff semifinal game against Texas in the Sugar Bowl, Washington has beefed up its receiver room for next season.
Jeremiah Hunter, Cal’s leading receiver who entered the transfer portal after the season, has signed with the Huskies.
Hunter caught 62 passes for 703 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He had 965 receiving yards last season.
Washington looking to replace big receiving numbers
Washington had 4,470 receiving yards this season, led by Bilentnikoff Awards finalist Rome Adunze, who had 1,428 yards receiving with 13 touchdowns.
Hunter is familiar with the Huskies program, having played at Cal for three seasons.
He had five receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 59-32 loss to Washington this season.
Throwing to him will be Will Rodgers, former Mississippi State quarterback who transferred to Washington after the season.
