Cornerbacks coach John Richardson has strongly emphasized recruiting the position in the 2025 class. Among his top targets is four-star prospect Trestin Castro, who committed to coach Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans on April 2.
That hasn’t stopped numerous coaching staffs from recruiting the product of Upland High School, which also produced Husky running back Cameron Davis and wide receiver Taj Davis in the 2019 class. He was still set to take an official visit to Washington on June 21 following his commitment but has rescheduled for June 7.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 24 cornerback and No. 218 overall player by 247Sports, the 6-foot, 170-pound Castro is also set to visit the Trojans on June 21 and the Texas Longhorns on June 14.
“He has a natural instinct in coverage, quick reaction and timing when breaking on the ball, and ball tracking skills that are highly developed,” Huskies Wire’s Camber Michelle said. “He is also solid against the run with his speed and tackling ability, which could lead to some teams viewing him as a safety.”
Richardson will continue to prioritize Castro and three-star LaRue Zamorano along with May 31’s top-100 visitors Daryus Dixson and Dijon Lee, the latter of which is set to commit on June 28 in a class that could see the Huskies take three cornerbacks.
