Top-100 CB RJ Sermons confirms second unofficial visit to Washington

The Washington Huskies appear to be in a good position with four-star CB RJ Sermons.

The Washington Huskies appear to be getting solid early returns on the recruiting trail from the 2026 class. Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff has already earned two commitments from running back Ansu Sanoe and kicker CJ Wallace and is looking to add a few more by the end of the year.

Although he might not be making his commitment by the end of the year, cornerbacks coach John Richardson has developed a strong relationship with Rancho Cucamonga High School product RJ Sermons, who told On3’s Chad Simmons that he’ll be taking his second unofficial to Montlake during the season.

Sermons took a trip to Washington for the coaching staff’s Luau At The Lake in July and will be making the rounds to visit the West Coast’s top programs again this fall.

“What caught my attention [at Washington] was the facilities, the coaches, the people there, and the environment outside of football,” Sermons told Simmons. “It’s a super nice town, and the coaches are super knowledgeable. [Defensive coordinator Steve] Belichick and coach J-Rich are super smart football guys.”

Along with unofficial visits to both USC and Oregon, the 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 51 overall prospect and No. 5 player at his position by 247Sports, said he will take his next trip to Seattle for the rematch of the 2023 national championship when the Huskies take on the Michigan Wolverines on October 5.
