Painesville (Ohio) Riverside four-star defensive lineman Dominic Kirks has been committed to the University of Washington since June. Despite not signing with the Huskies during the early signing period, Kirks still sees a promising future playing for Kalen DeBoer and the coaching staff.
However, Kirks didn’t sign because his position coach Eric Schmidt left for a defensive coordinator opportunity at San Diego State. Despite being happy for Schmidt, Kirks admitted that it was a shock and “messed [his] mind up a little bit.”
This decision has left his future uncertain, as he considers his options moving forward. The departure of a key coach at Washington has potentially impacted Kirks’ commitment to the school.
Historically, situations like this can have a significant impact on the recruitment process and the ultimate decisions made by high-profile student-athletes. In cases where coaching staff changes occur at the collegiate level, it often serves as a turning point for recruits who must weigh their options and consider the impact on their athletic and academic futures.
It remains to be seen how this development will affect Kirks’ decision and where he will ultimately commit to play collegiate football. The college football world will be watching closely as this situation unfolds.
