Episode Details

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are bracing for a major defensive line overhaul as Bryce Butler announces his transfer portal entry. Can the head coach, defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi, and senior director of player personnel Matt Doherty utilize Washington's immense resources to land high-impact talent and fuel a College Football Playoff run?

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff spotlights urgent roster needs, including potential portal additions like Mateen Ibirogba, Jamarrion Harkless, and Adam Trick, while breaking down the strategic importance of elite transfers across the defensive line and at wide receiver. The discussion covers the evolving competition at wide receiver, which could be fueled by targets Nick Marsh and Danny Scudero, Denzel Boston’s looming NFL draft decision, and why financial muscle will be key to outpacing the best teams in the Big Ten. Will an aggressive portal strategy be the game-changer Washington needs to dominate the conference next season?
