Ahead of his junior season at Oaks Christian High School in California, running back Deshonne Redeaux is one of the most coveted players in the country. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound four-star recruit in the 2026 class holds 27 scholarship offers and on Monday, he whittled his choices down to 12, including Jedd Fisch’s Washington Huskies.
Alongside the Huskies were a lot of the usual suspects for any coveted recruit, including Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, and Oregon.
Redeaux’s first interest from Washington came from Kalen DeBoer’s coaching staff, which extended a scholarship offer to him in April 2023, three months after Fisch, running backs coach Scottie Graham, and the Arizona Wildcats did so.
The No. 7 running back and No. 11 prospect in California according to 247Sports plays with great speed and was clocked at 21.6 miles per hour last season, which is the third-fastest speed from any prospect in the 2026 class according to the UCReport.
Despite already earning a commitment from Ansu Sanoe, Graham will make a strong push for Redeaux in an effort to build a thunder-and-lightning combination with the No. 1 player in Oregon.
He was able to build that at Arizona in the 2024 class with Adam Mohammed and Jordan Washington, both of whom followed him to Seattle. While both players aren’t expected to see heavy workloads this season, Graham could use their development as a major selling point in Redeaux’s recruitment during the 2025 season.
