The Washington Huskies have filled another need along their offensive line, securing the services of three-star offensive tackle Jack Shaffer. The product of Bismark High School in North Dakota was previously committed to coach Matt Campbell and the Iowa State Cyclones before announcing his decision on Instagram on Tuesday night.
Listed at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, Shaffer is ranked as the nation’s No. 40 offensive tackle and No. 2 player in North Dakota by 247Sports and holds six other offers, including Kansas State and Wisconsin.
In a talented group of offensive linemen headlined by four-star prospects Champ Taulealea and Zac Stascausky, Shaffer, who slots in just behind them as the No. 3 player at the position in Washington’s class, brings brute strength to offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll’s class, which now includes five commits.
His film is littered with highlights of the 2023 all-state offensive linemen handily displacing defensive linemen while mainly lined up at right tackle. Shaffer’s addition should complete Carroll and coach Jedd Fisch’s offensive line class for the 2025 cycle, giving the Huskies another true tackle that could be a solid building block for future offensive lines.
After Shaffer’s announcement, Washington’s class still sits among the top 20 in the nation, ranked as No. 19 by 247Sports.
