Joe Montana’s son has announced that he intends to sign a letter of intent this February with Washington. Nick Montana is currently a senior quarterback at Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California. After a visit to the school last Wednesday, Montana is ready to become a Huskie.

Just last week, one of Washington’s potential freshman quarterbacks, Jake Heaps, announced that he’d be committing to BYU instead. Montana says that this announcement had no bearing on his own decision, and that he just wanted to see the school before making a final decision. Adding a little dimension to this story – Heaps’ school will play Montana’s school on September 18, so the two will go head to head on the field.
Steve Sarkisian, the new head coach at Washington, was one of the major reasons Montana chose the school. He says that the coach has been a friend of the family since he was at USC, and he points to Sarkisian’s track record with players who went pro (Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez).
Daddy Montana went to Notre Dame, which Nick also considered. In addition, he considered Stanford, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State.
