Washington sets official visit with four-star WR from IMG Academy

The Washington Huskies have set up an official visit with another four-star wide receiver after losing one of their top targets to the Oregon Ducks.

A new target is emerging for the Washington Huskies at wide receiver after four-star Cooper Perry committed to the Oregon Ducks. It appears that wide receivers coach Kevin Cummings was prepared for the move, as he scheduled an official visit with four-star prospect Donovan Olugbode earlier this week.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 27 wide receiver by 247Sports, he transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, following his freshman season, which he played at Montini Catholic High School in Chicago, Illinois.

He pulled in 31 catches for 561 yards and 5 touchdowns during his junior year and is expected to take a big step forward in his senior season alongside another Husky target, four-star Raiden Vines-Bright.

Assuming Perry will no longer be taking his visit to Seattle, which was set to begin on May 3, Olugbode will take his spot on that trip. He has also set official visits with USC, Oregon, and Missouri as part of his summer plans and one look at his film shows why the 6-foot-1, 200-pound receiver holds 26 scholarship offers.

Olugbode is an impressive route runner for his age, with a fluid lower half and quick feet that allows him to create clean releases off the line of scrimmage and at all levels of the field.

While he doesn’t necessarily have elite long speed, he can certainly run away from second level defenders and create yards after the catch. He also possesses great strength and balance with the ball in his hands, and could be an exciting playmaker with the ball in his hands at the college level.

As Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff searches for two or three high level receivers to add to the class of 2025, Olugbode appears to be a top priority for the Huskies.
