Lineman commits to Idaho

VANDALS

Robb Akey's personality has won the day again.

Akey has attracted one of the Tacoma-area's best lineman to Moscow, as Lakes' Bilal Liggins committed this weekend to attend the school.

"Coach Akey really impressed him," Bilal’s father, Earl Liggins, told the Tacoma News Tribune. "He’s really good people, and I think he will be in good hands with him."

Liggins is a 6-foot-3, 260-pound offensive lineman.
