2026 top 100 prospect receives crystal ball projection to Washington

The Washington Huskies have been projected to land a commitment from a top 100 player in the class of 2026, who also happens to be the top overall player in the state of Oregon.

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies coaching staff got some good news on Tuesday morning, as multiple recruiting experts put in crystal ball projections for 2026 prospect Ansu Sanoe to commit to Washington.

247 Sports’ national insiders Brandon Huffman, Blair Angulo, and Greg Biggins, along with Oregon State insider Angie Machado all projected Sanoe, the nation’s No. 96 overall player in the class of 2026, to land with the Huskies.

Sanoe, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound athlete out of Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon, is the top player in the state and holds offers from some of the nation’s elite programs, including Georgia, Miami, Oregon, and Tennessee. He had previously been projected to choose Oregon State and if the projection were to come true, this would be a big win for running backs coach Scottie Graham.

He projects out as a running back at the college with elite size and impressive athleticism. As he continues to improve at the high school level, he could be a candidate to play immediately as a freshman.

If he were to commit soon, the Huskies would have a long way to go until signing day, but his commitment would signal that the relationships Fisch’s staff have been developing are beginning to pay off.
