Washington made the most of its final home game of the season.

With six official visitors in Seattle over the weekend, the Huskies knocked off Utah 34-15 and put together an impressive performance with plenty of prospects in the CenturyLink stands.

For offensive line commit Sean Harlow (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) it was an opportunity to reaffirm the decision he made in July. For defensive end commit Daeshon Hall (Lancaster, Texas/Lancaster) it was a chance to return to his hometown for a few days. For unofficial visitor and Oregon State commit David Ajamu (Shelton, Wash./Shelton) it was a moment that gave him something to think about after earning an offer from the Huskies.

Sean Harlow has been to Seattle enough to know what the city and the University of Washington’s football program have to offer.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) committed to the Huskies in July because he felt the program best fit his future.

Since his commitment, the three-star recruit has taken an unofficial visit to watch Washington's 24-14 loss to USC and an official visit to Wisconsin. But after taking an official visit to watch the Huskies defeat Utah, 34-15, the senior said he is not wavering in his pledge to play for Washington.

SEATTLE -- Max Redfield (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) didn't seem to be in a hurry.

The 6-foot-2, 181-pound athlete, rated the No. 36 player in the nation, waited while other prospects, fans with field passes and the family members of Washington players marched down the stairs toward the field following Washington's 34-15 win over Utah at CenturyLink Field.

SEATTLE -- Washington saved its best for last.

When the Huskies take the field at 7:30 p.m. Saturday for their final home game, it will be one last opportunity for the program’s seniors to play in front of their home fans. It will be a chance for Washington to win its third game in a row and become bowl eligible.

It will be the last game the Huskies can host their top targets at CenturyLink Field and, despite the late kickoff, it could end up being the program’s most important recruiting weekend of the 2012 season.

Facing a short week and an opportunity to pick up its first road win of the season, Washington spent last week focused on football, not recruiting.

However, considering Northern California is an important recruiting region for the Huskies, Friday’s 21-13 win over Cal provided another chance for the program to show recruits the program’s progress.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. -- Max Redfield (Mission Viejo, Calif./Mission Viejo) had a rather modest start at the South County passing league tournament on Saturday. The simple drag route at first appeared harmless. The Mission Viejo athlete maneuvered his way toward the middle of the field, caught the pass and turned the corner.

Good morning, defensive backs.

The havoc that ensued showed why Redfield is the state’s second-ranked athlete, only behind USC commit and good friend Su’a Cravens of Vista Murrieta. One Redfield touchdown quickly turned into three, three turned into six and, by the end of the all-day event, the 6-foot-2 star had guided host Mission Viejo to a championship.
