Washington Is Relying HEAVILY On Chris Lawson, 2025 Class To BREAK OUT
Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are looking to lean heavily on their 2025 recruiting class to take a big step forward in 2026. Can breakout candidates like Chris Lawson and Baron Naone seize starting or rotational roles and transform the offense around Demond Williams Jr.? Sophomore edge rusher Devin Hyde, cornerbacks Ramonz Adams and D'Aryhian Clemons, and linebacker Donovan Robinson headline defensive risers, while fresh faces battle for key spots across the depth chart. Is the team's increased physicality and size enough to match the demands of the Big Ten? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau offer analysis on Fisch's revamped roster, exploring position battles at wide receiver, tight end, and running back. Insights on the backup quarterback competition, offensive line depth, and secondary rotations provide insider guidance as Fisch’s coaching staff adapts to the Big Ten. Will Washington shed past weaknesses and become a true contender in 2026?
