1. Josh Conerly Jr., offensive tackle, 6-5, 275, Rainier Beach High
247Sports ranking: five stars, No. 1 offensive tackle, No. 1 player in Washington, No. 9 overall
For Washington, Conerly has long been the crown jewel of the 2022 class. And while Michigan appears to be the favorite, UW’s hire of Wolverines director of player development Courtney Morgan (who has a close relationship with Conerly) and the decision to retain offensive line coach Scott Huff both work in the Huskies’ favor.
A 6-5, 275-pound lineman, Conerly has seemingly narrowed his focus to Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, USC and the hometown Huskies.
And while widespread coaching changes have created unavoidable instability, they may have evened the playing field as well.
“Obviously USC needs an offensive line coach. Oregon needs an offensive line coach,” 247Sports national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman told The Times last month. “So Washington is in a position where, of the five or six schools he’s really considering, three of them don’t have an offensive line coach. So they’re kind of even. They’re always going to have the home-field advantage, but right now Michigan’s the chief program nationally and they’re playing catch-up with them.”
2. Joshua Wood, quarterback, 6-3, 185, Graham-Kapowsin High (247Sports ranking: three stars, No. 16 player in Washington, No. 56 QB)
247Sports ranking: three stars, No. 16 player in Washington, No. 56 QB
3. Max Brown, quarterback, 6-3, 200, Lincoln Christian (Okla.) School
247Sports ranking: three stars, No. 23 player in Oklahoma, No. 76 QB
4. Kevonte Henry, linebacker, 6-4, 225, Leuzinger (Calif.) High
247Sports ranking: four stars, No. 17 player in California, No. 17 edge defender, No. 206 overall
5. Vega Ioane, interior offensive line, 6-4, 320, Graham-Kapowsin High
247Sports ranking: three stars, No. 8 player in Washington, No. 18 interior offensive lineman
6. Emar’rion Winston, linebacker, 6-3, 240, Central Catholic (Ore.) High
247Sports ranking: four stars, No. 3 player in Oregon, No. 21 edge defender
7. Jahlil Florence, cornerback, 6-2, 180, Lincoln (Calif.) High
