Talented DB Isala Wily-Ava commits to Washington, breaks down his decision
Bellflower (Calif. ) St. John Bosco defensive back Isala Wily-Ava has committed to Washington and broke down why he chose the Huskies.
Wily-Ava chose the Huskies over Arizona State and Michigan. The timing of his decision surprised us as he told us just a week ago that he was set to commit June 27 and had all three official visits set for June. At his College Showcase on Wednesday, Wily-Ava told us he was moving up his commitment date to this weekend and pulled the trigger moments ago.
“I felt ready,” Wily-Ava said. “I know both ASU and Washington wanted me to make my decision sooner as well but it was really hard because I liked both programs a lot. “A week ago, I was leaning to ASU, then earlier in the week it was Washington.
On Thursday, I met with ASU coaches and it was back to even again. On Friday, I locked back in with Washington and feel really good about my decision and thankful for the opportunity. ” Wily-Ava said there were several reasons why he chose the Huskies but the opportunity to play for UW DB coach Taylor Mays was a huge one.
“Coach Mays is my guy,” Wily-Ava said. “He was a great safety back in the day and made it the to the League (NFL). He did everything I want to do, be a college All-American and play in the NFL so I know he can develop me and help me get there.
