The Washington Huskies are off to a good start in the 2026 class and have hauled in three commitments, most recently from local three-star linebacker Wassie Lugolobi, who joined four-star running back Ansu Sanoe and kicker CJ Wallace.
Jedd Fisch and linebackers coach Robert Bala are looking to add a few more pieces at the position to the 2026 class and got some good news from four-star linebacker Tristan Phillips, who announced his top six schools on Tuesday night ahead of his December 7 commitment date.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound product of Ventura High School in California is ranked as the nation’s No. 13 linebacker and No. 206 overall player by 247Sports and whittled down his 18 offers to a final group of Arizona State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. According to Sports Illustrated’s Andrew Nemec, Phillips is set to take visits to both Oregon and Oklahoma ahead of his commitment.
“Something that really stands out about the Ducks is the brotherhood they are building – even with the coaches as well,” Phillips told Nemec. “I think that’s part of why they’ve had so much success this year. They have a lot of brotherhood and team chemistry.”
Bala has done an impressive job building relationships with some of the top prospects on the West Coast but has some work to do if he wants to earn Phillips’ pledge, as he holds a crystal ball prediction to pick Oregon.
