The pass-catcher bolsters a UW position area greatly thinned by veterans moving on.

With things finally settling down in Las Vegas following a busy Super Bowl weekend, native son wide receiver Audric Harris on Wednesday signed his national letter of intent and delivered it to the University of Washington, the school announced.

Harris handed over his paperwork a week after the winter signing period began, with the delay unexplained. Previously a Jedd Fisch signee at Arizona, Harris might have had to wait for his scholarship release to clear at the other school before proceeding.

Either way, the 6-foot, 185-pound pass-catcher from Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman High School — which previously provided the Huskies with All-America pass-catcher Rome Odunze and All-Pac-12 linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio — is in the fold and bolsters a UW position area badly in need of reinforcements with players leaving for the NFL draft of Alabama.

Harris is one of four new Husky wide receivers, joining University of California portal transfer addition Jeremiah Hunter and December signees Jason Robinson and Justice Williams, both from Southern California high schools.

They'll join returning UW veterans in senior Giles Jackson, sophomore Denzel Boston and redshirt freshmen Rashid Williams and Keith Reynolds.

Harris, who reportedly will enroll early and join the Huskies for spring practice, comes off a senior season in which he caught 51 passes for 1,051 yards and 13 touchdowns for a 12-0 team.

He committed to the UW on Feb. 4 after asking for his Arizona scholarship release.
