The 6-foot-3, 190-pounder, who took an official visit to Washington State over the weekend, picked the Cougs over offers from Nevada, San Jose State, Wyoming and several others. Cougfan.com reports that Silvels will play nickelback at WSU ($).
Silvels, rated the No. 144 overall athlete in the country by the 24/7 Sports Composite, is a two-star prospect. Area recruiter Alex Grinch ran the point on Silvels, who played his high school football at Patrick Henry High with WSU receiver Dezmon Patmon.
In eight games as a senior, Silvels, splitting time at receiver, running back, quarterback and as a returner, amassed 1,230 all-purpose yards to go along with 10 touchdowns. On defense, Silvels tallied 22 tackles and six pass breakups.
With just over two weeks left until National Signing Day, Washington State now has 22 prospects signed or committed in the 2017 recruiting class, including seven defensive backs.
