Washington added the first member of their 2026 recruiting class today when three-star SF Lattimore Ford committed to the Huskies. The commitment was first reported by Kevin Cacabelos of SeaTown Sports.
Ford played his high school ball at Mount Si in Sammamish, WA and was an early offer for the Huskies. That offer was re-affirmed by Coach Sprinkle once he arrived in the head coach seat back in 2024. Ford ended up with offers from several power conference schools including Oklahoma and Utah having helped to lead Mount SI to a state 4A title as a sophomore.
Things went backwards for Ford though as he tore his ACL near the end of his junior season and faced the prospect of potentially never getting to play high school basketball again. At the time, Ford was averaging 18.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game on 33% three-point shooting.
Ford transferred out-of-state to Combine Academy in Charlotte, NC for his senior year to train and rehab but only lasted a month before returning to Mount Si. He was initially denied the opportunity to play despite coming back early from the ACL tear because he had transferred out then back in but eventually became eligible in late January and played in 13 games on the way to a 4th place finish in the 4A state tournament. Ford averaged 13.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game on 36% three-point shooting as he had to try to integrate into a team built around Boise State signee Brady Hennig.
