Episode Details

The Washington Huskies are eyeing a breakout year from Rylon Dillard-Allen after a Freshman All-American season. Jedd Fisch is emerging as a potential game-changer in the secondary. Can his elite speed and physicality anchor Ryan Walters’ defense in the Big Ten? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff spotlights under-the-radar stars like Devin Hyde on the edge and explores how Alex McLaughlin and Rahshawn Clark add versatility and physicality to the secondary.

On offense, Tomashoff assesses Champ Taulealea's battle with Geirean Hatchett for a starting guard spot and Decker DeGraaf’s potential resurgence at tight end. With playmakers like Quaid Carr looking to join the running back rotation and top recruits Tre Moore and Jeremy Adeyanju expected to make a big contribution in the 2027 class, the Huskies’ future looks explosive. Which freshmen are poised to skip redshirts and contribute right away? 

The next wave of Washington's talent could help elevate the Huskies towards College Football Playoff contention in 2026.
