The Washington Huskies coaching staff hosted a number of recruits in the 2025 and 2026 classes on unofficial visits over the weekend as coach Jedd Fisch attempts to build up relationships in his recruiting classes of the future.
One of the top prospects on campus was four-star athlete Ansu Sanoe from Lakeridge High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound athlete is ranked as the nation’s No. 96 prospect in the 2026 class and holds 13 offers, including Georgia, Miami, Oregon, and Texas A&M.
Sanoe’s elite frame and athleticism gives him a bright future on either side of the ball, but it appears most schools are looking at him as a running back.
He displays high level change of direction ability and impressive balance that when combined with his frame helps him dominate at the high school level. His size should be a factor at the college level too if he can get to the second level, as he should be able to survive contact with linebackers too.
Enjoyed an amazing visit in Seattle! Cant wait to be back soon to visit this amazing school with amazing people. @UW_Football @ScottieGraham @calebwilson @CoachJeddFisch @UW_Football @BrandonHuffman @adamgorney @RivalsFriedman @B12PFootball @CoachSpencerP @GoPacerFootball pic.twitter.com/GBgStQrG57

While Fisch’s staff is focused on the class of 2025, it appears to be building strong relationships with underclassmen as well with Sanoe appearing to emerge as one of Washington’s top priorities in 2026.
Sanoe currently has multiple crystal ball projections from 247 Sports to commit to Oregon State, but has a long way to go in his recruitment, which could bode well for running backs coach Scottie Graham and Fisch’s coaching staff if he opts to return to campus.
