Three-star OL Peter Langi names Washington to top 6

The Washington Huskies are one of six teams remaining in the recruitment of three-star offensive lineman Peter Langi

Narrowing down his list of 39 offers to just six had to have been one of the toughest decisions of three-star offensive lineman Peter Langi’s life. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound prospect announced his final six schools on Friday night, including coach Jedd Fisch’s Washington Huskies alongside Arizona, Auburn, Penn State, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Langi, who plays for Archbishop Riordan High School in San Francisco, California, alongside four-star wide receiver and Washington commit Chris Lawson, was scheduled to take his official visit to Seattle for the Huskies’ 27-17 win over No. 10 Michigan but was unable to make the trip.

According to 247Sports’ Brandon Huffman, Langi suffered a minor injury the night before he was scheduled to leave for Seattle. He has already rescheduled his trip for November 15, when the Huskies are set to play UCLA on Friday night.

The coveted lineman may hold off on making a decision for a while since he’s not set to enroll until June, which could lead to him taking more official visits in December. Right now, his recruitment looks to be a two-horse race between Fisch and offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll’s last two stops, Washington and Arizona.

Langi took his official visit to Tucson in June, where his younger brother, three-star offensive lineman Michael Langi, is committed to coach Brent Brennan’s 2026 class.

No. 2 2025 in-state prospect picks Rutgers over Washington

The top two 2025 basketball prospects in Washington will both take their talents elsewhere.

After head coach Danny Sprinkle was able to retain the services of coveted guard Zoom Diallo in the 2024 class, the Washington Huskies have struggled with in-state recruiting.

The top prospect in Washington, four-star guard Jaylen Petty, chose coach Richard Pitino and the New Mexico Lobos over the Huskies. On Friday, the state’s No. 2 prospect, three-star Rainier Beach guard Kaden Powers, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 37 shooting guard by 247Sports, chose the Rutgers Scarlet Knights over 12 other offers, including Washington.

“It was a tough decision for sure committing to a school out on the East Coast instead of staying home,” Powers told 247Sports’ Dushawn London. “It was hard for my family to make the long trip, but the coaching staff made us feel very comfortable and promised that they’d take care of me. They have a good relationship with me and my family it made it feel like an hour’s flight based on how comfortable we were.”

“There was nothing bad about my visit,” he continued. “I had no complaints, and I had fun. They have really nice facilities, but what sold me was the bond I made with the coaching staff. They made me feel comfortable with everything. Seeing my mom smile while out there meant a lot to me.”

After the Huskies earned a commitment from four-star guard Courtland Muldrew on Tuesday, it appears Sprinkle’s coaching staff is still in the hunt for one or two more guards in the 2025 class and is hot on the trail of both five-star Darryn Peterson and four-star JJ Mandaquit.

Washington offers 2025 Florida ATH before Iowa official visit

Jedd Fisch decided to extend an offer to a talented athlete from Florida just before his official visit to Iowa.

When three-star athlete O’Lontae Dean arrives at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday as part of his official visit with the Iowa Hawkeyes, he’ll also be keeping a close eye on coach Jedd Fisch’s Washington Huskies. On Thursday, just before the Huskies got on the plane to make the trip to Iowa City, Fisch’s coaching staff extended an offer to the 6-foot, 200-pound prospect from Armwood High School in Seffner, Florida.

Dean stars on both sides of the ball for his high school, playing wide receiver, running back, and linebacker. He was very productive in 2023, accruing 612 yards and 10 touchdowns on offense, along with 44 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 interceptions on defense.

His future appears to be on the offensive side, perhaps at running back, as his film displays a talented athlete with great vision who can make plays anywhere in the formation as both a runner and pass catcher.

After the NCAA expanded a team’s allotted scholarship limit from 85 to 105, running backs coach Scottie Graham could be looking for another prospect to add alongside three-star commit Julian McMahan.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 116 athlete and No. 141 prospect in Florida, Dean has been able to collect an impressive offer list and holds 19 scholarships. Along with the Hawkeyes, he’s received interest from Iowa State, Louisville, Ole Miss, and LSU.

Washington cracks top 8 for three-star 2026 Florida ATH

Washington made the top eight schools for three-star Florida athlete Zion Legree, a speedster expected to play wide receiver.

Jedd Fisch has harped on the importance moving to the Big Ten has had for Washington’s establishment as a national brand since he arrived on Montlake this winter. The results have shown early on in Fisch’s recruiting: the Huskies’ 2025 class represents 11 different states across their 27 commitments.

Those efforts spilled over into 2026 on Tuesday, as Pensacola, Florida native Zion Legree included Washington in his top 8 schools.

Legree, a three-star athlete in the 247Sports Composite rankings, also named Georgia, Mississippi, Miami, Missouri, Illinois, Florida, and Mississippi State to his list.

Legree is expected to play wide receiver at the college level. He picked up an offer from Washington in May, a few weeks after the Pine Forest athlete released an initial top 8 that included the likes of Auburn, Notre Dame, and Kentucky. Mississippi State is the only school of those initial eight that made Legree’s list this time around.

The junior has run a verified 4.35-second 40-yard dash and also stars on the track for Pine Forest. Washington was among the first batch of Power 4 schools to reach out to him, as his recruitment began to pick up over the summer after a strong showing at a Florida State camp in June.

Fisch has shown that his system is wide receiver friendly, as Denzel Boston and Giles Jackson were the only duo in the country to enter last week’s contest with at least 400 receiving yards apiece. After a big win against Michigan, it appears recruits like Legree are taking notice, even from the other side of the country.

Four-star SG Courtland Muldrew joins Washington’s 2025 class

The Washington Huskies got their first 2025 commit in four-star guard Courtland Muldrew.

Danny Sprinkle has his first commit for the 2025 class. On Tuesday morning, four-star guard Courtland Muldrew announced his commitment to the Washington Huskies after taking an official visit to campus over the weekend.

“The program needs a point guard like myself,” Muldrew told 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins. “I also wanted to play on a bigger stage on the West Coast.”

The 6-foot-3, 170-pound product of Oak Hill Academy in Virginia is ranked as the nation’s No. 96 prospect and No. 17 shooting guard by 247Sports, but with guards DJ Davis, Tyree Ihenacho, and Luis Kortright all in their final year of eligibility, Muldrew is expected to shift to the point behind Zoom Diallo when he arrives.

“I could tell the value I bring to the coaches,” Muldrew continued. “I could also tell exactly what they want from me and how they can get me to the next level.”

Muldrew, who is originally from Springdale, Arkansas, holds 13 offers and picked the Huskies over Creighton, LSU, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State.

Five-star safety Bralan Womack reschedules Washington visit

One of the top prospects expected to attend Washington’s 27-17 win over Michigan had to reschedule his visit.

The Washington Huskies had a successful recruiting weekend, hosting plenty of 2025 commits and important prospects for their 27-17 win over Michigan on Saturday. But one of the biggest names on the docket was missing.

On Monday afternoon, On3’s Chad Simmons reported that the 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect Bralan Womack from Hartfield Academy in Flowood, Mississippi, was unable to make the trip to Seattle over the weekend but quickly rescheduled. Simmons stated that Womack, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 22 prospect and No. 2 safety by the 247Sports Composite, will now take an unofficial visit to Montlake on November 2 when Washington is scheduled to take on USC.

If Womack was able to make the trip, he would’ve seen a stellar performance from Washington’s safeties, headlined by Kamren Fabiculanan’s interception of Michigan quarterback Jack Tuttle in the fourth quarter. But defensive coordinator Steve Belichick showed just how versatile the position is in his defense.

Fabiculanan and Cameron Broussard both stepped up into the box to help defend the run and play man coverage against tight end Colston Loveland, putting together a very strong day and proving just how important the position is in Washington’s new defense.

Safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri has done an impressive job getting the Huskies in the race for the talented safety, and his recruitment is worth keeping a close eye on going forward.

Three-star Washington DL commit takes official visit to Memphis

Three-star Washington Huskies commit Caleb Smith took a visit to Memphis over the weekend.

While a lot of members of the Washington Huskies 2025 recruiting class spent their weekend on Montlake watching their future team take down the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines, three-star commit Caleb Smith had other plans.

The 6-foot-5, 265-pound product of Parker High School in Birmingham, Alabama, took an official visit to Memphis. Coach Ryan Silverfield and the Tigers offered Smith a scholarship in February and hosted him for an unofficial visit in late March.

Memphis got off to a hot start in 2024, starting 3-0 before falling 56-44 to Navy, getting back on track on September 28 with a 24-7 win over Middle Tennessee. With an open week on their schedule, the Tigers brought Smith back to campus for an official visit, which isn’t the first time Silverfield has battled coach Jedd Fisch for a prospect this year.

After he was committed to Washington for just five days, left tackle Chris Adams decided to flip his commitment to Memphis, where he now starts at left tackle for the Tigers.

While it appears Smith, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 104 defensive lineman by 247Sports, is still firmly committed to Washington, this will be a battle worth monitoring all the way until signing day on December 4.

Four-star SF Jasir Rencher chooses Texas A&M over Washington, others

The Washington Huskies lost out on the recruiting battle for four-star forward Jasir Rencher.

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies lost their first recruiting battle on Thursday evening when four-star small forward Jasir Rencher announced his commitment to coach Buzz Williams and the Texas A&M Aggies.

Rencher chose the Aggies over LSU, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and the Huskies.

“Choosing a school was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,” Rencher told On3’s Joe Tipton. “I was really down to 2 schools that both fit me really well on and off the court. But I chose Texas A&M because they had been recruiting me for a long time. It’s a beautiful campus. They’re about their players. And like I said before they fit me on and off the court.”

“Coach Buzz is a magnificent teacher on and off the court,” he continued. “He was the first high major coach to know my name, and he’s had a belief in me since then. He also has 19 NBA players as a head coach, so he knows what he’s doing, and he knows what a pro looks like.”

Sprinkle’s coaching staff has extended offers to nine small forwards in the 2025 class, and following Rencher’s announcement, five remain uncommitted. Washington’s recruiting strategy under Sprinkle’s regime remains unclear, but is sure to include a healthy mix of the high school ranks and the transfer portal.

Three-star OL Peter Langi sets official visit to Washington

The Washington Huskies are set to host three-star OL Peter Langi for an official visit this weekend.

The Washington Huskies are on a never-ending quest to improve their 2025 recruiting class, and Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff has identified another target along the offensive line.

Offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll has a long-standing relationship with three-star prospect Peter Langi, who attends Archbishop Riordan High School in Northern California alongside four-star wide receiver commit Chris Lawson. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound prospect is set to take an official visit to Seattle beginning on October 4, just before the Huskies face off with the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines.

Langi was originally set to take his official visit to Seattle during Washington’s spring game before canceling his trip and has now circled back around to the Huskies. He holds one of the most impressive offer lists for a three-star prospect, with 38 scholarships from around the country, including Alabama, LSU, Penn State, Tennessee, and Texas all among the programs showing interest in his services.

However, according to 247Sports, his recruitment appears to be coming down to a battle between Washington, Fisch’s former school, Arizona, and Arizona State.

If he were to choose Washington, his size and positional versatility between guard and tackle could put him on a similar development track as one of Carroll’s most successful prospects, Arizona offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea.

Langi is the same size and moves very similarly to the 2022 Freshman All-American and 2023 All-Pac-12 honorable mention, and Carroll could implore a similar strategy with the three-star prospect if he winds up choosing Washington, as Savaiinaea started his Wildcats career at guard before kicking out to tackle.

Washington offers 2025 WR after Florida State decommitment

The Washington Huskies are still looking to add talent to the 2025 class.

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies coaching staff are relentless on the recruiting trail. Even though the 2025 class holds 27 commits, including four wide receivers, that didn’t stop wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings from extending a scholarship offer to four-star wide receiver Malik Clark.

The nation’s No. 24 wide receiver and No. 212 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to 247Sports, decommitted from Florida State on Tuesday and picked up offers from the Huskies and Colorado shortly after.

A product of Rock Hill, South Carolina, the 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect has a high ceiling and looks like he could be a promising playmaker at the next level.

“He’s at his best when he’s attacking the deeper parts of the field as he streaks down the sideline and keeps defenders on their heels,” 247Sports’ director of scouting Andrew Ivins said in his evaluation of Clark. “He will create separation with dynamic cuts but could get a little more efficient with his footwork.”

“He’s quick to locate the football once it’s airborne, gearing down or up to secure the prize. However, he doesn’t have a ton of contested catches on the highlight reel. Additional mass could not only make him more effective in 50-50 situations but also help him as a blocker. Overall, he should be viewed as a potential multi-year impact player at the Power Four level with legitimate NFL upside. He will likely need some time to find his bearings, but is one of the best in the 2025 cycle when it comes to challenging coverages at both the second and third levels.”

Clark holds 38 offers and may not have the Huskies very high on his list at the moment, but Fisch’s coaching staff has done an impressive job securing visitors from all over the country, and it’s nothing if not relentless.
