Analysis: Sizing up Washington Huskies roster after transfer portal closes

HFNY · January 14

When I think about it by position, each group except for LB and Secondary should be better. Maybe WR is a push, assuming Boston takes a step forward and Cook is better than Hunter but Green or whomever else isn't as quite as productive as Giles Jackson (Rashid Williams is also promising).

The biggest improvement we should see is at QB, OL, and DL. Talent and depth at both OL and DL will be significantly better.

As much as I dislike the portal and very much hope that players will need to sign at least two year deals, it has helped UW plug holes due to the sudden transitions from Lake to DeBoer to Fisch.

Hopefully Fisch wins at least 9 games in 2025 and signs a top 15 class.

UWs success in the upcoming season will depend heavily on the development of guys who were underclassmen this last season, and possibly a few surprise true freshmen that step up. This is still the roster of a 6-8 win team unless we get a few guys to splash that we weren't expecting.
