While hosting four-star edge rusher Chaz Gray out of St. Joseph Regional High School in New Jersey for an official visit over the weekend, the Washington Huskies also got the opportunity to make an early impression on one of the nation’s top prospects in the 2028 class.

Chaz was joined on his official visit by his entire family, including his younger brother, five-star linebacker Tahj Gray, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 24 overall prospect and No. 1 linebacker in the 2028 cycle by the 247Sports Composite.

The younger Gray, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, received an offer from Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff in January and holds 31 scholarships, with Florida, Indiana, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Texas all in the mix.

Position coach Brian Odom has had a lot of success recruiting linebackers since he was hired ahead of the 2025 season, but the younger Gray will be a different challenge. However, getting him on campus this early could work to Washington’s benefit in the long run as the Huskies look to continue adding size, length, and versatility to the front seven.

On film, Tahj lives up to his ranking and shows off everything Odom is looking for. While flexing between inside and outside linebacker, he shows off rare athletic traits with high-end speed, short-area explosiveness, and the ability to bend around the edge to get under the arms of offensive tackles to get after opposing quarterbacks.

As defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi and outside linebackers coach Aaron Van Horn spent their weekend selling Chaz on joining the defensive front, Jedd Fisch’s staff also most likely showed the Gray brothers the opportunities that siblings have had on Montlake.

The Huskies currently have three pairs of brothers on the roster: Geirean and Landen Hatchett, Kayden and Kodi Greene, and Derek and Lowen Colman-Brusa.
