The Washington Huskies are ramping up recruiting efforts in the 2027 class, targeting top West Coast prospects to secure their future in the Big Ten. Four-star safety Isala Aisa Wily-Ava, linebacker twins Ethan Coach and Justin Coach, LB Josiah Poyer, and cornerback Josiah Molden headline a stacked list of defensive priorities, while wide receiver Zerek Sidney and center Reis Russell could redefine the Huskies’ offensive core.

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff unpacks the impact of Jedd Fisch’s aggressive recruiting, potential quarterback shakeups involving Caden Jones and Sione Kaho, and the ripple effects of Elijah Brown’s transfer portal commitment. Insightful analysis covers defensive versatility, critical roster transitions, and how the Huskies aim to replenish the secondary and receiver room.

With fierce competition from Oregon, Michigan, and Arizona State, will Washington land these high-impact recruits and maintain its upward trajectory?
