Even as the Washington Huskies continue to host official visits with prospects in the 2027 class, Jedd Fisch's coaching staff is still looking to build early relationships with recruits in the 2028 cycle, too.

That includes extending an offer to four-star offensive lineman Maxx Jones, a product of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. The 6-foot-3, 325-pound prospect, who is originally from Texas, is ranked as the nation's No. 210 overall recruit and No. 14 interior offensive lineman in the 2028 class by 247Sports, and is quickly turning into a priority target for programs around the country.

He holds 30 offers with Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas, and Texas Tech all among the schools in pursuit of his services.

On film, Jones is everything you'd expect from a player of his size. He plays with overwhelming physicality, consistently running through defenders to pave holes in the run game, while he's also surprisingly nimble and displays the ability to move laterally to combat quicker interior pass rushers.

As offensive line coach Michael Switzer continues to build up the size and depth along his offensive front, Jones looks like an ideal early target for the Huskies in 2028, while he also fits what Jedd Fisch is looking for as the head coach attempts to widen Washington's recruiting footprint.

Switzer and the Huskies currently hold just one commitment in the 2027 class, from four-star center Reis Russell, but with five uncommitted offensive linemen set to take official visits to Montlake before the summer dead period hits, that number could change quickly. Either way, it's never too early to get started with the 2028 class.
