University of Washington recruit Davy Armstrong will never wear the purple and gold of the Huskies.

Today the 18 year-old midfielder signed with the Colorado Rapids.

The Washington Huskies Soccer Blawg posted this in anticipation of the announcement.

“At 18-years of age, Davy has already proved after training with our first team for a number of weeks this summer that he not only has the physical qualities that will certainly lend itself to progression and development in MLS, but technically he is also very proficient,” said Rapids head coach Gary Smith. “More importantly, for a young player he has an outstanding attitude and mental focus to get the job done. I believe now that we have Davy in this environment full-time, we will see a much more polished and professional player ready for the first team.”
