On their second weekend of official visits, Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies coaching staff are expecting a significant contingent of high school prospects to be in attendance.

Here’s what you need to know about them.

4-star WR Osani Gayles- IMG Academy (Florida)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 48, WR- 8, FL- 6

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect is one of the nation’s most coveted pass catchers and is down to a final group of Alabama, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee, and UW.

“Gifted inside receiver with the intelligence, confidence, and polish to elevate any passing attack,” 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins wrote in his scouting report. “Manipulates defenders with impressive route tempo as he mixes speeds and snaps out of breaks at crisp angles. Can bypass coverage with advanced releases and easy acceleration…Combative more times than not in 50-50 situations with his play strength…Slippery after the catch as he stacks cuts to avoid would-be tacklers.”

4-star CB Censere Gaylord- IMG Academy (Florida)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 163, CB- 21, FL- 17

Down to a top four of Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Washington, the 6-foot, 160-pound prospect is one of the most instinctual and hard-hitting defensive backs in the 2027 class. If he were to wind up committing to the Huskies, he could develop into a versatile piece who can play both nickel and outside corner.

4-star WR Braylon Pope- Sumner High School (Wash.)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 203, WR- 26, WA- 1

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound pass catcher was Washington’s first commit in the 2027 class and has established himself as one of the nation’s most promising wide receivers. He excels in contested catch scenarios, and with his combination of size and speed, his high school film is reminiscent of another local big-bodied prospect who thrived after choosing to stay home, Denzel Boston

4-star DT Jon Ioane- Tustin High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite Ranking-National- 288, ATH- 17, CA- 26

The 6-foot-3, 295-pound prospect was one of the top overall targets on Washington’s board and has been committed since late March. One of the more unique talents in the 2027 class, Ioane also plays along the offensive line and has even taken some snaps at quarterback at Tustin High School, but the high-end athlete is expected to develop into a disruptive defensive tackle at the college level.

4-star S Jaden Walk-Green- Corona Centennial High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 349, S- 35, CA- 30

At 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, Walk-Green has been one of the most productive players in California, tallying 125 tackles and 10 interceptions during his junior year. He holds a crystal ball to choose the Huskies, as he also has official visits set with Arizona State, Kansas State, and Vanderbilt.

4-star S Isala Aisa Wily-Ava- St. John Bosco (Calif.)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 415, S- 38, CA- 36

Another one of Washington’s top overall targets, Wily-Ava announced his commitment to position coach Taylor Mays and the Huskies in mid-May, and is a perfect fit for the down safety role in defensive coordinator Ryan Walters’ scheme. At 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, he brings a promising blend of size, speed, instincts, and physicality to the secondary.

3-star TE Zach Albright- Glacier Peak High School (Wash.)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 505, TE- 30, WA- 6

At 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, Albright, who announced his commitment in late April, is a promising athlete who is utilized mainly as a true pass catcher at the high school level. That could lead to him redshirting once he arrives on campus to add more weight to his frame and help him get comfortable as an in-line blocker.

3-star QB Caden Jones- Crean Lutheran High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite Ranking- National- 590, QB- 36, CA- 46

Even with four-star quarterback Blake Roskopf committed, the Huskies have continued their pursuit of the 6-foot-3, 185-pound Jones, who also holds an offer from men’s basketball coach Danny Sprinkle. The talented athlete, who would fit well in Washington’s offense thanks to his ability to make plays outside of the pocket, has been a long-time target for Fisch’s coaching staff.

3-star CB Evan Mack- Crean Lutheran High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 590, CB- 59, CA- 46

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound cornerback was a late addition to the slate, but fits the prototype that Richardson is looking for on the outside with great length and athleticism, thanks to a dual-sport background at Crean Lutheran, where he also plays basketball.

3-star LB Isaiah Leilua- Servite High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 608, LB- 51, CA- 51

At 6-foot and 220 pounds, Leilua, who committed not long after Washington’s Junior Day in early March, is a true inside linebacker who is a strong, sure tackler and will give position coach Brian Odom much-needed depth in the middle of the field.

3-star LB Ethan Coach- St. John Bosco (Calif.)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 855, LB- 73, CA- 69

At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Ethan is one of the more underrated and versatile linebacker prospects in the country, lining up all over the formation for the Trinity League powerhouse. He committed to Washington over 13 other offers, including Michigan, Ohio State, and Texas.

“We’re big on relationships, and the Washington staff really made us feel comfortable with the decision,” Ethan told On3 of the decision to commit to Washington. “It wasn’t just one coach either; it was multiple coaches, and they treated us like family.”

3-star LB Justin Coach- St. John Bosco (Calif.)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 1,009, LB- 90, CA- 77

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds, Justin is deployed more at inside linebacker than his twin brother, but shows the same explosiveness and athleticism on film that made the pair such important targets for Odom.

“The staff really recruited us hard and made us feel like we were a priority for them,” Justin told On3. “They offered us way back in the spring before our sophomore year, and no one has recruited us harder. We built a great trust and bond with all the coaches there and love the direction coach Fisch is taking the program.”

3-star DL Matamatagi Uiagalelei- Mater Dei High School (Calif.)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 1,121, DL- 120, CA- 90

Defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi has made the younger brother of 2025 UW starter Ta’ita’i Uiagalelei a top priority since the beginning of the cycle, and did well to earn a commitment from the 6-foot-3, 240-pounder in late February.

“You might be getting a better guy than me,” Ta’ita’i said of his younger brother after his Pro Day workout in March.
”He’s smaller than me right now, but he works hard, he works really hard. Lanky, shifty, pass rusher. He’s a basketball player, so he started off with the crossover, so he’s really shifty, and he’s a really smart kid; he has a good head on his shoulders. Seattle’s gonna love him…He can play everywhere. He’s got the toughness to play everywhere, inside or outside.”

3-star EDGE Jag Ioane- Orem High School (Utah)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 1,131, EDGE- 93, UT- 15

At 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, Ioane is a unique prospect who needs to get a lot heavier to make an impact on a college defensive line, but displays elite burst and quickness when getting after opposing quarterbacks. He also has official visits set up with BYU and Utah, while Michigan has begun a push to get into the mix for his services, too.

3-star EDGE Josh Christensen- Lake Oswego High School (Oregon)

247Sports Composite ranking: National- 1,573, EDGE- 120, OR- 5

The 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive lineman has been one of the nation’s biggest risers regardless of position. Washington and Oregon are the two top suitors for his services, but Illinois, Oklahoma, and Utah are among the programs surging in his recruitment.
