The Washington Huskies have found a way to ensure long-term depth at quarterback. While coach Jedd Fisch is still looking to add an experienced option to the room for 2024, since there are just two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, he’s added a promising long-term prospect in Treston Kini McMillan.
A three-star quarterback from Mililani High School in Hawaii, McMillan is ranked as the nation’s No. 39 prospect at the position by 247Sports and is a good depth piece to have behind three-star commit Dash Beierly.
Last season’s Gatorade Player of the Year in Hawaii, McMillan is a 5-foot-10, 210-pound dual-threat quarterback with intriguing upside.
He gives quarterbacks coach Jimmie Dougherty a talented athlete to work with after throwing for 3,521 yards and 42 touchdowns during his junior season. McMillan added 575 yards and 11 scores on the ground and will have plenty of time to develop as he sits behind Demond Williams, who is presumed to take over the starting job in 2025.
Assuming Fisch is able to secure a quarterback with some experience from the transfer portal for the upcoming season, there will be a few players ahead of him on the depth chart for the foreseeable future.
