Jedd Fisch Just Landed a Visit from the Nation's Second-Best QB Prospect
Mark your calendars, because Washington football is about to host one of the most electric quarterback prospects in the country. Jake Nawrot, a four-star QB from John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is coming to campus on April 7 for spring practice as an unofficial visit. This is huge. The Huskies are officially in the mix for the nation's No. 2 quarterback in the 2027 class.
Who Is Jake Nawrot, and Why Should You Care?
Nawrot is a legitimate prospect. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound signal caller is ranked as the nation's No. 40 overall prospect by the 247Sports Composite, and he holds 20 offers from major programs. Iowa, Kentucky, and Oregon are already in the thick of his recruitment, but Fisch and quarterbacks coach JP Losman are making a serious push. This kid is blowing up after winning Alpha Dog at the Elite 11 in Indianapolis and a massive jump up the rankings following his first year as a starter.
During his junior season, Nawrot completed over 71 percent of his passes for 3,078 yards and 41 touchdowns with just two interceptions. He also added 124 yards on the ground with 8 touchdowns. That's the kind of dual-threat mobility that Fisch's offense is built to exploit. According to 247Sports' Andrew Ivins, Nawrot is a "big and athletic one-year starter with a high-powered arm and excellent football character." He can get the ball accurately to all three levels, works off play-action effectively, and slides away from pressure while staying balanced.
What Makes This Recruitment Matter for UW
The elite part? Nawrot doesn't beat himself. Just two interceptions in his junior season shows exceptional decision-making and the confidence to challenge tight windows over the middle. Ivins notes that while he might lack game reps compared to some peers, he "aced an in-person evaluation" and should be viewed as "a true late-bloomer with a monster ceiling given the size, vision, and precision."
Nawrot is joining four-stars Blake Roskopf and Sione Kaho on Fisch and Losman's radar as they hunt for a signal caller in the 2027 class. An unofficial visit in April could move him quickly to the top of that list. This is the kind of recruiting win that makes UW fans feel good about the direction of the program.
