Episode Details

The Washington Huskies' spring standouts are set to reshape expectations for Jedd Fisch's team in the 2026 college football season, as Darin Conley can help transform the defensive line, while true freshmen like Kodi Greene and Ramzak Fruean flashed star potential. Who will emerge as game-changers for the Huskies this fall?

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau break down their spring draft of Washington’s most impressive performers, spotlighting the rapid rise of players like Quaid Carr, Trez Davis, and DeSean Watts. The discussion covers depth chart battles at cornerback and running back, surprise developments across the roster, and how these emerging talents could influence the Huskies’ Big Ten campaign. Key topics include defensive line versatility, the evolution of the offensive front, and which under-the-radar names could crack the rotation.
