Emeka Iweka, a defensive lineman from Rainier Beach who signed with the Huskies in February, won't be able to enroll at Washington for academic reasons, according to his high-school coach.
"It looks like he's not going to make it," said Rainier Beach coach Mark Haley, who said Iweka is looking at a couple of different junior colleges out of state to continue his football career.
Iweka, however, is also still recovering from an Achilles tendon injury suffered during a basketball practice in January, and might not be able to play this season wherever he ends up. "It'll take a full year to get that right," Haley said.
Indications are that Iweka is the only member of UW's incoming recruiting class that won't be eligible this year, though receiver Anthony Boyles of Compton, Calif., is awaiting final test results.
Two other Huskies won't return to the team — walk-on quarterback Chandler Clemons of Folsom, Calif., and reserve tight end Tim Williams of Chehalis.
The Huskies have also finalized an agreement to play Hawaii in Seattle in 2011, as a return for Washington's trip to Honolulu this season.
