The Washington Huskies are off to a strong start in recruiting the 2026 class. Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff has earned commitments from running back Ansu Sanoe and kicker CJ Wallace and is firmly in the running for plenty more top prospects from around the country.
On Monday night, one of those prospects, four-star edge rusher Anthony Jones, cut his list of nine potential schools down to five. The product of Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, California, holds 15 total offers but is now set to choose between Arizona State, Michigan, Tennessee, UCLA, and Washington.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Jones has shown heavy interest in Washington and appears to have developed a strong relationship with defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi. He took an unofficial visit for Fisch’s inaugural “Luau At The Lake” over the summer and could return for another unofficial visit to take in a game this season, as it appears Fisch’s staff is trying to gather as many visitors for Washington’s national championship rematch with Michigan on October 5.
The versatile Jones, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 175 player and No. 19 edge rusher by 247Sports, would be a great fit in defensive coordinator Steve Belichick’s scheme and is a target that Husky fans should keep a close eye on.
