The Washington Huskies‘ hot streak continues on the recruiting trail, as three-star tight end Austin Simmons became the fourth player to announce his commitment to Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff in the last three days.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound product of West Albany High School in Oregon brings the Huskies up to 29 commits in the 2025 class and becomes the second tight end from Washington’s southern neighbor to commit to position coach Jordan Paopao, joining four-star Baron Naone.
Simmons was also previously committed to Washington’s in-state rivals, the Washington State Cougars, but decommitted on November 24, the same day he received an offer from Fisch’s coaching staff. He’s ranked by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 66 tight end prospect and No. 10 player in Oregon.
“The University of Washington has always been a top target school for me, and I’m thrilled to be joining such an impressive program,” he told 247Sports’ Brandon Huffman. “Husky football has a rich tradition of excellence, and I am confident that this is the right environment for me to thrive. I’m grateful for this opportunity, feeling humble, and ready to put in the work.”
He holds seven other offers and chose the Huskies over Boise State and Montana State, along with Washington State. Following some shakeups across the country, Simmons joins the nation’s No. 19 class, according to 247Sports.
