The Washington Huskies appear intent on securing a commitment from three-star offensive lineman Peter Langi from Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco, California.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder played his first two prep seasons at Mater Dei High School before transferring back home to the Bay Area, is ranked as the No. 38 interior offensive line prospect in the country by 247 Sports and set up an official visit to Washington on Wednesday.
Langi, who will begin his trip to Seattle on May 3, holds 39 scholarship offers from all over the country but appears to be one of offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll’s priority targets up front.
He also might remind Washington’s new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach of a player he developed at Arizona, right tackle Jonah Savaiinaea.
In two seasons under Carroll, he turned into one of the best offensive linemen in the Pac-12, earning Freshman All-America honors in 2022 and an All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season. At the same size as Savaiinaea, Langi displays a similar skillset that can be utilized at either guard or tackle.

As one would expect from someone his size, Langi is a total mauler with tons of natural power in the run game. He moves well for his size and while he isn’t a finished product on the technical side, he possesses elite tools that can be developed in the right system.
In pass protection, he distributes his weight well and possesses a solid base with good balance, but will need to work on a quicker punch. A few times on his film, opposing pass rushers are able to get hands on his chest, but he’s able to make up for it with his elite strength.
At the college level, technique will take him farther than pure strength and if he can find a nice balance between the two, he has a high ceiling moving forward.
The Huskies have already secured a commitment from one promising offensive line recruit in three-star Jake Flores and if Carroll is able to earn a pledge from Langi as well, Washington’s coaching staff would be well on its way to a very good offensive line class.
