SEATTLE – Washington head men’s golf coach Alan Murray announced the addition of two future Huskies on Friday as part of National Signing Day in local prep Grady Millar and Australian International Vidur Subramaniam.
“We are really excited about both these guys becoming Washington Huskies,” Murray said. “They will come in and compete for starting spots right away and add both quality and depth to our roster. Both guys are similar in terms of playing pretty aggressively and are really fun to watch. They have a lot of quality and have had a lot of success.”
A four-time district champion out of Mountain View High School, Millar has also been named the Class 3A Greater St. Helens League Boys Golfer of the Year and was tabbed by The Columbian as All-Region Boys Golfer of the Year a year ago.
