Recruiting Update

QB: They want to take two as they only have three on the roster and expect one of the QBs to leave after the season. They would prefer two high school recruits if they can manage it, but if they can't, then it will be one high school and one transfer. I expect them to land Gabarri Johnson as his other options (Utah and Arkansas) have either already taken a QB or are about to take one. Getting him should help a little with in-state recruiting.

RB: They already have one in Tybo, which is a solid pickup. They would like to take two backs, but the only RBs they have offered they are in contention for is Sergio Snider, who is going to be hard to get him out of Texas as I have heard he would like to say close, and Dijon Stanley who should schedule an official with Washington. I expect more offers for this position if they can't close Stanley in the summer.

WR: They got one WR commit in Keith Reynolds and would like to take 1-2 more. The three four-star they are in contention for is Jeremiah Mclure, Rashid Williams, and Malachi Riley. I expect Washington to get an official visit from all three, and I would say they are in serious contention for Mclure and Williams. Other WRs they are in contention for are Jacob Page and Taeshaun Lyons.

TE: They want one TE and might take a second depending on attrition from the position group. The only highly rated TE they are in contention for is Bowers, but the feeling is BYU leads for him. They were hoping to get him to visit for spring practice but couldn't get him on campus. They are trying to get him to schedule an official visit as that is the only chance they will have with him. Other TEs they are in contention with are Collins Acheampong and Spencer Shannon, and they are doing well with both of them.

OL: They want to take at least three and might take four depending on how many guys transfer out. Huff is struggling right now as the word is out that he can't develop. The two OL who are doing well and are rated highly are Hatchett and Micah. I would hope that he can close both of them. Tackle-wise, he's struggling, so you are seeing more offers going out. They were doing well with Elishah Jackett at one point, but they have fallen behind to some more prominent schools. There is still time to recover with him, so hopefully, they can catch back up. Zachary Henning, who has already taken an unofficial, is the only tackle they are in contention for, but Utah is right there for him as well.

DL: They want to take 2-3 DL. The issue is that Inoke is struggling, which is no surprise. He is known as an average recruiter at best, and it's showing. They are not in contention for any highly rated DL at all. The only DL's I would say they have a shot with is Amos Talalele, Gavin Geweniger, and maybe Martin Owusu, who they just offered. Expect more offers to go out.

Edge: They want one guy currently. They are doing well with Blake Purchase and will get an official from him in June. They are also doing well with Jaeden Moore, and there has been talk about scheduling an official visit for him in June. Those two are the main focus.

ILB: Want 2-3. They are doing well with Leviticus Su’a, who is believed to be favoring Stanford, Blake Nichelson though they have fallen behind and are struggling to get him on campus, Jordan Whitney, Victory Johnson, Deven Bryant, Michael Montgomery, and Jerry Mixon. I expect them to land Michael Montgomery soon because he doesn't have any other options. The other guy I expect them to land Jordan Whitney, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him locked down in the summer.

DB: Want 3-4. They are in contention for Jasiah Wagoner, and I expect them to get an official from him in June. They are doing well with Maliki Crawford and should get an official from him in the fall, Leroy Bryant, who just visited, and Christian Pierce, who the staff thinks they are close to closing.

Overall: Not doing well with too many highly rated recruits, and I expect this class to struggle to get inside the top 25. Right now, I would put the over/under at 3.5 for 4/5 star recruits landed in this class and expect a lot of low to mid-three-star recruits.
