Four-star OL Douglas Utu includes Washington in top 6

The Washington Huskies are among the six finalists for four-star OL Douglas Utu.

Four-star offensive lineman Douglas Utu is among Washington offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll’s top targets in the 2025 class as the Huskies look to rebuild their front after the departure of all five starters from the 2023 Joe Moore Award-winning unit.

Utu, who is ranked as the No. 4 interior offensive lineman and No. 101 player in the country by 247Sports, took an official visit to Washington for the spring game and on Thursday, announced the top six schools that he’s focusing on moving forward in his recruitment.

The Huskies found themselves among the Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan Wolverines, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oregon Ducks, and Tennessee Volunteers in the competition for Utu’s services.

At 6-foot-5, 300-pounds, the product of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, understands the position at a very high level and is extremely technically proficient. Thanks to his size and athleticism that go along with his high IQ, Utu has a chance to play early on in his college career, even along the offensive line which is certainly one of Carroll’s biggest selling points.

Utu is set to take an official visit to Michigan on Friday and has yet to schedule a date with any of the other schools in his top six, signaling that Washington could be in a good spot with the coveted offensive lineman.
