Jedd Fisch Has Washington Sitting on a Top 5 Recruiting Class, and the Huskies Are Just Getting Started
After landing the best recruiting class in program history last year, Jedd Fisch and his coaching staff aren't slowing down. The Huskies are already building what looks like another elite haul for 2027, and according to 247Sports, Washington is sitting at the No. 5 class nationally. That's the kind of momentum that wins in the Pac-12 era and beyond.
The Numbers Are Already Stacking Up
Washington has 11 verbal commits locked in for the 2027 cycle, which ties them with Texas A&M for the second-most pledges in the entire country. In the Big Ten specifically, only USC and Ohio State are ranked ahead of them at No. 3 and No. 4 respectively. Fisch's staff is building something real here, and the early velocity is undeniable.

The foundation is built on five blue-chip commits: four-star defensive tackle Jon Ioane, four-star quarterback Blake Roskopf, four-star running back Jeremy Adeyanju, and four-star wide receivers Braylon Pope and Zerek Sidney. That's a strong core. But here's where it gets interesting. Fisch's staff has official visits lined up with a ton of high-end talent, including four-star safeties Isala Aisa Wily-Ava, Gavin Williams, Malakai Taufoou, and Jaden Walk-Green, plus four-star defensive tackles Tevita Nonu, four-star offensive linemen Lincoln Mageo and Gecova Doyal, and four-star cornerback Censere Gaylord. Three-star offensive tackle Ben Lowther was even on campus for an unofficial visit recently.
The Top Targets Are in the Mix
Washington isn't done hunting either. Fisch's crew has their sights set on some of the nation's elite, including five-star offensive tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola and four-star wide receiver Osani Gayles. That's the kind of reach that shows the Huskies are serious about competing at the highest level. Getting blue-chip talent on campus and keeping them connected is the game, and right now, the Huskies are playing it well.
