The Washington Huskies scheduled an official visit with one of the nation’s top prospects on Thursday, four-star safety Anquon Fegans. On Thursday, Fegans told 247 Sports’ Steve Wiltfong that he has set three official visits for the summer, including a trip to visit coach Jedd Fisch and the Huskies beginning on June 21.
Ranked as the nation’s No. 43 overall player according to 247 Sports, he also scheduled visits to Georgia and Clemson in June. After the Huskies were able to earn a visit from five-star cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. on Wednesday, Fegans’ announcement shows his coaching staff’s commitment to recruiting at a high level after extending an offer to the product of Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama in late January.
While the Huskies are not the leader to secure his commitment at this point, it appears Fegans might not have any aversion to coming to the West Coast. His brother Tre’Quon committed to Alabama out of high school, but the former four-star cornerback transferred to USC before the 2023 season.
On film, it doesn’t take long to see why Fegans holds over 30 scholarship offers and a top 50 overall ranking. He has an elite understanding of zone coverage as a high schooler which when combined with his top-end athleticism, makes him a perfect free safety prospect at the next level.
Thompson isn’t afraid to ask him to play man coverage either and with great eye discipline along with a high football IQ, baiting quarterbacks into making throws, he looks like a potential contributor during his first year on a college campus.
That’s real 🤝🏾 @CoachJRich @Ballhawk__8 https://t.co/kG5D07j5ZL

Earning a commitment from Fegans will not be easy, but it appears Fisch, secondary coach John Richardson, and the rest of Washington’s coaching staff is up to the task.
