Projecting 2026 Two Deeps
It's impossible to predict which 2026 signees will be able to compete for a starting spot and even in the two deeps so I'm not including any of them. Since this staff isn't afraid to play true frosh, we'll undoubtedly see a few guys burn their redshirts.
Other assumptions:
- I'm assuming Boston heads to the NFL as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. If he gets a 4th round grade and UW makes a strong offer, he could come back. I'm also assuming they have enough confidence in the WRs already on the roster so that they don't target a transfer WR.
- I'm assuming the staff decides to get a SR LT transfer (#2 priority) to hold down the spot for a year or to compete with the young LTs but they could decide to move Mills or Azzopardi to LT (not sure either have the feet to deal with elite pass-rushers).
- I'm also assuming that the staff will be able to get Anterior Thompson one last year, Armon Parker will medically retire, and Jayvon Parker will be fully healthy for 2026 (and may play in the bowl game)
- I'm assuming that that they will target a very good DE in the portal and that will be the #1 transfer priority
- I'm assuming they get a transfer CB to compete for a spot opposite Dylan Robinson in case the young guys aren't up to starting.

Absolutely need to get 2 impact upper classmen offensive linemen in the transfer portal if we're serious about competing. They were better this year but not a year of experience away from being elite
