Wilhite was one of two Lancers who committed to the hometown Wildcats before re-opening his recruitment, along with five-star edge rusher Elijah Rushing, who is expected to commit to the Oregon Ducks.

Wilhite is the latest Salpointe Catholic star to join the Huskies. Offensive lineman Matteo Mele, who suffered a season-ending injury, is in his final year at UW.
