Three-star WR Cynai Thomas names Washington to top 5

The Washington Huskies are looking to turn Archbishop Riordan High School into a pipeline.

Jedd Fisch appears to be trying to turn Northern California powerhouse Archbishop Riordan High School into a pipeline for the Washington Huskies. After signing four-star wide receiver Chris Lawson and three-star offensive lineman Peter Langi in the 2025 class, the Huskies are attempting to bring in another crop of stars from the program.

That search has led them to three-star wide receiver Cynai Thomas, who announced his top five schools on Friday: Boise State, California, Oregon State, Utah, and Washington.

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds, Thomas narrowed down his list from 19 offers and is a borderline four-star prospect, ranking as the nation’s No. 413 overall player and No. 64 receiver by the 247Sports Composite.

The Huskies originally offered him in May 2023, when Kalen DeBoer’s staff was still at the helm, but Fisch and wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings reoffered him shortly after they arrived in Seattle.

“Washington is an amazing college,” Thomas told 247Sports’ Brandon Huffman. “I got a chance to watch many of their games and my two teammates are committed there. Coach KC is a great guy. He develops his guys and he’s down to earth.”

Cummings already has one wide receiver committed in the 2026 class in local three-star Terrance Saryon, and after adding five players at the position in 2025, he may not have many spots open. Due to his film and production at the high school level, posting 46 catches for 713 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior, and when he received his offer, Thomas should be considered a priority for the coaching staff and would be a strong addition for Washington.
