Husky Football Hosts Set of Official Visits this Weekend (June 21-June 23)
UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch and his coaching staff welcome a plethora of Class of 2025 recruits this weekend
Washington’s football staff is preparing to host another large group of 2025 recruits to campus this week. This marks the second big recruiting weekend, coming after the May 31-June 2 weekend where the Huskies hosted 16 different recruits. There will be another 14 recruits on campus this weekend.
More recruits may have flown under the radar and are unreported. There may be last-minute additions and cancellations, but this is our best shot at providing a comprehensive list of what has publicly been reported.
*Star ratings are according to 247 Sports.
Running Back
Three-star RB Julian McMahan (Monte Vista - Danville, CA) - The UW commit will visit his future home this weekend. McMahon committed to the Huskies in late March. The Bay Area running back picked the Huskies over various West Coast schools including Arizona, Cal, Oregon St., and Washington St.
Tight End
Four-star TE Baron Naone (West Linn - West Linn, OR) - 247 Sports ranks Naone as the top recruit in the state of Oregon. Ranked No. 2 behind Naone is fellow Husky TE recruit Jackson Doman (Canby - Canby, OR). Naone visited Cal last weekend.
Offensive Line
Three-star OL Darius Afalava (Skyridge - Lehi, UT) - Afalava has visited UCLA, Michigan St., Utah, Oklahoma, and LSU. On3 lists Oklahoma as the favorite to land Afalava.
Three-star OL Elijah Vaikona (Santa Margarita Catholic - Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) - Coach Brennan Carroll is in pursuit of Vaikona. Vaikona reportedly has 20 offers.
Secondary
Three-star CB LaRue Zamorano (Centennial - Corona, CA) - The Southern California native is coming off a visit with Kansas. He visited Michigan State in May. 247 Sports and On3 both list USC as the favorite to land Zamorano.
Three-star S Rylon Dillard-Allen (Mountain Pointe - Phoenix, AZ) - Dillard-Allen has visited UCLA, Alabama, and Texas A&M. The Huskies will have to ward off former head coach Kalen DeBoer in his pursuit for Dillard-Allen in Tuscaloosa.
Three-star S Aiden Manutai (Kahuku - Kahuku, HI) - There are five schools in the hunt for Manutai: Arizona, Cal, Tennessee, and Nebraska. Manutai will announce his commitment on July 12th.
Three-star S Donovan Robinson (Loyola Academy - Wilmette, IL) - Robinson also plays linebacker, wide receiver, and returns kicks. Robinson was once committed to Virginia, but has opened his commitment back up. He announced his top four as Minnesota, Missouri, Arizona, and Washington.
Three-star ATH D’Aryhian Clemons (Spanaway Lake - Spanaway, WA) - This local product is coming off a visit with cross-state rival Washington St. Clemons has also received offers from West Virginia and Montana St.
Linebackers
Four-star LB Zaydrius Rainey-Sale (Bethel - Spanaway, WA) - This local product is predicted to choose Washington by experts at 247 sports. Rainey-Sale announced his top three on Monday, with UW, UCLA, and Florida State making the cut.
Four-star Edge Chinedu Onyeagoro (King Drew Medical Magnet - Los Angeles, CA) - Onyeagoro is another SoCal recruit that UW has its eyes on. UW is in his final four, along with SMU, UCLA, and Florida. He will announce his commitment on July 1st. *Update* Onyeaghoro has announced he will no longer make his official visit to Washington this weekend.
Four-star ATH Jonathan Epperson (Auburn Riverside - Auburn, WA) - Epperson is another touted local product that Washington is pursuing. He made a visit to Arizona last week.
Defensive Line
DL Dominic Macon (Adrienne C. Nelson - Happy Valley, OR) - Per 247 Sports, Macon now has “warm” interest in Washington. UW is Macon’s only Big Ten offer.
DL Josiah Hammond (Union - Tulsa, OK) - Hammond committed to Kansas last weekend, so it is unclear whether he will still make his scheduled official visit to UW.
Current Class of 2025 Commits

In addition to McMahon, UW has gained commits from three-star OL Jake Flores (J Serra Catholic - San Juan Capistrano), four-star OL Champ Taulealea (Valley Christian - San Jose, CA), three-star edge Devin Hyde (Menlo Atherton - Menlo Park, CA), three-star WR Raiden Vines-Bright (IMG Academy - Bradenton, FL), and three-star QBs Treston Kini McMillan (Mililani - Mililani, HI) and Dash Beierly (Mater Dei - Santa Ana, CA).
