May 01, 2025

The Washington Huskies football program is expected to host a long list of recruiting visitors for its “Dawgs After Dark” spring game on Friday. Here is a list of visitors of who will be attending the spring game with a brief look at their recruitments. Rankings and star rankings are 247Sports Composite.

Commits

Four-star Running Back Ansu Sanoe (2026)

2026 UW-commit RB Ansu Sanoe (Lakeridge High School - OR) - No. 407 player overall, No. 29 running back, No. 2 player in Oregon.

Sanoe was at a spring practice in April and also visited Washington for Junior Day back in March. Since his commitment last spring, Sanoe has actively recruited other 2026 players to join him and choose Washington. Sanoe’s official visit to Washington is June 20.

Three-star Cornerback Elijah Durr (2026)

6-1, 175 lbs, Mount Tahoma High School in Washington - No. 850 player overall, No. 76 cornerback, No. 8 player in Washington.

Durr committed to the Huskies shortly after Junior Day. Durr, Ksani Jiles, and Cory Lavendar make up a trio of 2026 secondary recruits who have pledged to join Washington’s 2026 recruiting class. Durr’s official visit is set for June 20.

Three-star Athlete Terrance Saryon (2026)

5-10, 160 lbs, Evergreen High School in Washington - No. 856 player overall, No. 53 athlete, No. 9 player in Washington

Saryon is expected to star at wide receiver for the Huskies when he joins the team in 2026. After committing to the Huskies in November, Saryon helped lay the early foundation for Washington’s 2026 recruiting class, especially for in-state recruiting targets. His official visit is set for June 20.

Class of 2026

Four-star Athlete Salesi Moa (2026)

6-2, 175 lbs, Fremont High School in Utah - No. 56 player overall, No. 5 athlete, and No. 1 player in Utah

Washington gets an official visit from Salesi Moa this weekend per Blair Angulo from 247 Sports. Back in March, Moa planned visits to Michigan, Oregon, Michigan State, Utah, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. At that point, I thought UW was out of the running. Angulo’s report on Tuesday reporting on Moa’s official visit to Washington, came as a surprise. Washington’s coaches made multiple visits to Moa back in January and it looks like they did enough to get him on campus for them to make their recruiting pitch to him.

Four-star Edge Derek Colman-Brusa (2026)

6-5, 267 lbs, Kennedy Catholic in Burien - No. 161 player overall, No. 18 edge, and No. 1 player in Washington.

This is the in-state recruit Jedd Fisch probably wants the most. It certainly helps that Derek’s brother, Lowen, an offensive tackle, is set to join the Huskies as a freshman this coming fall. To keep Colman-Brusa in state, the Huskies will have to fend off UCLA, USC, Ohio State, and Oregon — all four schools will host him following this Friday’s spring game visit. His official visit this weekend has been rescheduled to May 30, per 247 sports.

Three-star Defensive Lineman Tyson Bacon (2026)

6-4, 260 lbs, Hoover High School in Alabama - No. 296 player overall, No. 34 defensive lineman, and No. 14 player in Alabama.

Per 247 Sports, Bacon is set to take his official visit with Washington on May 2. The Huskies are expanding their recruiting footprint, reaching into the South with the recruitment of Bacon. Last week, Bacon announced that he was decommitting from Tennessee, where he had been committed since last October. Washington visited Bacon in Alabama in January.

Three-star Edge David Schwerzel (2026)

6-4, 250 lbs, O’Dea High School in Seattle - No. 474 player overall, No. 44 edge, and No. 2 player in Washington.

Washington has its eyes on Schwerzel, a two-sport athlete who also plays basketball. Schwerzel is also visiting Cal, Michigan State, Stanford, and UCLA this spring. He attended a spring practice in April and also UW’s Junior Day in March. He is also expected to schedule a visit with Notre Dame. Schwerzel plans to attend the spring game, however, his original official visit scheduled for this weekend will be rescheduled.

Three-star Linebacker Ramzak Fruean (2026)

6-4, 207 lbs, Bethel High School in Washington - No. 596 player overall, No. 51 linebacker, No. 4 player in Washington.

The Huskies need a linebacker in the class of 2026 given Wassie Lugolobi’s decommitment from Washington in March. Fruean visited Washington in March for Junior Day and is one of the top in-state defensive players in the 2026 class.

Class of 2027

Four-star Defensive Lineman Tevita Nonu (2027)

6-3, 275 lbs, O’Dea High School in Seattle - No. 232 player overall, No. 24 defensive lineman, and No. 1 player in Washington.

Nonu is arguably Washington’s No. 1 local target in the class of 2027. As a sophomore last season, he helped lead football powerhouse O’Dea to a state championship. The Huskies were the first to offer Nonu in December. Since then, he’s picked up six more offers, including a big one for Notre Dame in March.

Four-star Tight End Zach Albright (2027)

6-5, 210 lbs, Glacier Peak High School in Washington - No. 262 player overall, No. 16 tight end, and No. 2 player in Washington.

Washington is in play for one of the top 2027 recruits in the state. Albright attended UW’s Junior Day in March and then made an unofficial visit with his family in April. Albright is a three-sport athlete who could become another homegrown tight end for the Huskies

Four-star Quarterback Sione Tu’amoheloa-Kaho (2027)

6-2, 205 lbs, Lincoln High School in Washington - No. 278 player overall, No. 20 quarterback, and No. 3 player in Washington.

Jedd Fisch’s next quarterback recruit might be in Washington’s backyard. Kaho has received seven offers: UW, Cal, Oregon, BYU, Sacramento State, Arizona State, and Washington State. After the Spring Game on Friday, he will be visiting Cal on Saturday.

Four-star Offensive Tackle Gecova Doyal (2027)

6-4, 285 lbs, Puyallup High School in Washington - No. 303 player overall, No. 15 interior offensive lineman, and No. 5 player in Washington

Doyal already holds offers from powerhouses like Oregon and Penn State. Washington is showing serious interest in him, after offering him last May. He is part of a stacked Puyallup roster.

Four-star Linebacker Liufau Loumoli (2027)

6-1, 215 lbs, Eastside Catholic in Washington - No. 305 player overall, No. 20 linebacker, and No. 6 player in Washington

The Huskies offered Loumoli last May and hosted him at Junior Day this past March. Loumoli already has over 20 offers, recently adding offers from Notre Dame and Oregon State. He has emerged as an in-state priority recruit for Washington.

Four-star Edge Ty Tautolo (2027)

6-5, 240 lbs, Lake Stevens High School in Washington - No. 332 player overall, No. 32 edge, and No. 7 player in Washington.

Tautolo has flown under the radar. Washington offered him in May 2024. In addition to an offer from UW, Tautolo also holds offers from UNLV, Cal, Notre Dame, and West Virginia.
