The 2018 Washington state high school football Player of the Year from Union High School to transfer to Washington State
While it might be unfair to describe a college decision as expected, Lincoln Victor on Sunday made an announcement on social media that did not surprise a whole lot of folks.
The college receiver who led Union to the Class 4A state football championship in 2018 as a quarterback and was named the state Player of the Year, said that he will resume his athletic career at Washington State University.
The Titan will now be a Cougar.
Victor entered the college football transfer portal in December after a difficult regular season at Hawai’i, his second college year.
At WSU, he will rejoin the head coach who recruited him to Hawai’i. Nick Rolovich was hired as the head coach at Washington State after the 2019 season.
Victor thanked his family for supporting him throughout the process, and he showed appreciation to the programs that contacted him as he was looking for his next stop on his journey.
“After careful consideration and a lot of thoughts and prayer, my family and I have come to the conclusion for this next chapter in my life,” Victor posted on Twitter. “With that being said, I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at … Washington State University. Go Cougs.”
Victor shared with Clark County Today a lot of detail regarding his exit from Hawai’i in a story that posted Dec. 16.
He was not sure then when he would make his decision, but he acknowledged that Washington State was a possibility.
“I’m going to continue to make everybody proud,” he said in December. “Wherever I land, it’s going to be a helluva story, man.”
