The Washington Huskies have pulled in arguably the nation’s best crop of wide receivers in the 2027 class, thanks to one of college football’s top recruiters.

After securing a pledge from four-star wide receiver Dontay Tyson on Friday night, position coach Kevin Cummings rocketed up almost 40 spots in 247Sports’ rankings of the nation’s best recruiters to No. 8. He has also been at the forefront of earning pledges from three other blue-chip prospects in the cycle: four-star wide receivers Tre Moore, Braylon Pope, and Zerek Sidney.

For Cummings, this feels like overdue recognition for what has been three very strong cycles on the recruiting trail since his arrival on Montlake.

In the 2025 class, the Huskies pulled in five receivers, headlined by four-star prospects Raiden Vines-Bright and Chris Lawson, while three-stars Marcus Harris, Deji Ajose, and Dezmen Roebuck rounded it out. Vines-Bright made 11 starts as a true freshman before transferring to Arizona State, while Roebuck earned Freshman All-American honors after hauling in 42 catches for 560 yards and 7 touchdowns in a strong statement for Cummings both on and off the field.

The position coach followed that up with an even bigger showing in 2026, dipping into Oklahoma to earn a pledge from four-star Mason James, Louisiana to get four-star Trez Davis, and Texas to flip four-star Jordan Clay away from Baylor. He also showed off his ability to identify talent by grabbing three-star Blaise LaVista from Illinois as a late riser in the cycle before a knee injury derailed his senior season.

When adding in the four four-star recruits in the 2027 class, as the Huskies continue their push for a fifth in four-star Osani Gayles, that brings Cummings up to nine blue-chip commitments in the last three years.
