Huskies Pull Out All Emotional Stops In Pursuit Of Kennedy's Son

Huskies pull out all emotional stops in pursuit of Kennedy's son, as the University of Washington worked to secure a commitment from offensive lineman Tye Kennedy. The weekend visit in Montlake was notable because it brought both Tye Kennedy and his father Lincoln Kennedy into Husky uniforms together, with recruiters convincing them to participate despite Tye not yet publicly signaling his intentions. Tye, listed at 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds and a 3-star prospect from Mountain View High School in Mesa, Arizona, toured the facility alongside his 55-year-old father, a former NFL first-round pick. Lincoln had previously weighed Washington against Michigan, a decision echoed by his son’s current situation. The article notes dorm and restaurant changes that limited additional family-themed touches, leaving the focus on personalized recruiting conversation rather than location history.
