The Huskies are on a recruiting tear ahead of the Apple Cup, with top 2028 talent like four-star WR Quincey Clay set to visit Montlake. Clay, ranked 152 overall and 22 among receivers, brings elite speed, basketball prowess, and athleticism — and he’s just one of five game-day visits planned this fall. With no 2028 commits yet, UW is targeting just one or two elite receivers — and this weekend could be make-or-break for their future receiving corps.

John Mills is heating up as a top sophomore talent, ranked eighth nationally by PFF and already a Preseason Second Team All-American pick — all while splitting guard/tackle duties and earning Freshman All-America honors. As Huskies captain under Jedd Fisch, Mills demands total unit cohesion from his offensive line, stressing that one missed assignment can break an entire play. With veteran anchors like Azzopardi and Hatchett, plus rising stars Greene and Taulealea, Washington’s O-line is primed to challenge for the Joe Moore Award and dominate the Big Ten in 2026.

Kai McClendon’s comeback story is electrifying: after 17 months rehabbing a knee injury, the 320-pound Mississippi State transfer is already making waves on Washington’s defensive line—deflecting passes, forcing incompletions, and climbing to backup DT in just weeks. Coached with faith by Jedd Fisch since his crutch-wearing days, McClendon’s relentless work ethic turned doubters into believers. With three seasons guaranteed and a proven track record from his freshman year at MSU, he’s poised to become a starter—and his journey proves that talent, grit, and belief can turn setbacks into standout performances.
