The Washington Huskies have been on a hot streak with the 2027 class, with 11 of Jedd Fisch’s 19 commits holding a four-star ranking on one of the three major recruiting outlets’ rankings, and offensive line coach Michael Switzer appears close to landing another blue-chip addition.

On Sunday morning, Rivals’ Brandon Huffman logged a crystal ball for the Huskies to pick up a commitment from four-star offensive lineman Gecova Doyal, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound in-state product of Puyallup High School, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 357 overall prospect and No. 16 interior offensive lineman by the 247Sports Composite.

Doyal is in the midst of wrapping up his fourth and final official visit to Montlake after trips to UCLA on May 15, Utah on May 29, and Oregon on June 5. However, the battle for his pledge has long been believed to be a heated battle between Jedd Fisch and Dan Lanning, and Huffman’s prediction is a great sign for the Huskies as Switzer looks to build more depth up front.

As Fisch continues to emphasize in-state recruiting, if the prediction does come to fruition, the Huskies would hold commitments from five of the top seven prospects in the state of Washington, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, with Doyal being the ideal depth addition for the interior of Switzer’s line.

On film, the blue-chip prospect displays great footwork and the ability to play with impressive leverage, paving holes in the run game with ease before climbing to the second level, where he can overwhelm high school linebackers and defensive backs with his superior size and strength. While he’ll continue to add strength to his frame to be able to hang physically in the Big Ten, he shows all the technical ability that Washington’s coaching staff desires to play in the Big Ten.

The Huskies currently hold just one commit along the offensive line in four-star center Reis Russell, but with four uncommitted prospects at the position visiting over the last week, that could change quickly.
