The Washington Huskies hold commitments from four four-star wide receivers in the 2027 class, and Jedd Fisch and position coach Kevin Cummings may not be done yet.

On Thursday evening, four-star wide receiver Osani Gayles cancelled his final two official visits to Notre Dame and Tennessee, cutting the two programs from his top five, leaving just Alabama, Stanford, and Washington remaining in the race for his services when he announces his commitment on Saturday, June 27.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect, who is ranked as the nation’s No. 34 overall prospect and No. 7 wide receiver in the 2027 class by 247Sports, took an official visit to Seattle on June 5, which was his second trip to the Emerald City in the last few months after he was on campus for an unofficial visit in early March during UW’s Junior Day weekend.

Even with Braylon Pope, Tre Moore, Zerek Sidney, and Dontay Tyson all committed, Gayles is still viewed by evaluators as the type of prospect that can come in and potentially compete for a starting spot right away in Fisch’s offense.

“Gifted inside receiver with the intelligence, confidence, and polish to elevate any passing attack,” 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins wrote in his evaluation. “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.”

If Gayles does wind up choosing the Huskies, he would be Cummings’ ninth blue-chip commit over the last three recruiting cycles.
