Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies have been on a roll lately on the recruiting front as of right now the class is ranked as the 6th best class according to 247sports (it’s super early but with 9 commits in the class they are doing very well early). With official visits starting up here in May and prospects expected to be on campus for spring practice here is a look at a couple of players who could commit sooner rather than later.
4 star defensive lineman Jon Ioane from Tustin HS, CA visited UW for their Junior day a few weeks ago and came away very impressed. Rated as one of the top defensive tackles out west and a top 200 player nationally by 247sports, Ioane has offers from all over the country but has narrowed his focus to a top 5 of Cal, Penn State, Stanford, UCLA, and UW. It’s expected that Ioane will announce his commitment this month and the Huskies are the heavy favorites to land him. Listed at 6’3” and around 295 Ioane has the size already to be an early contributor in college. When I watch his film I see a player who will likely be slotted to the interior as either a nose and 3T tackle and take on double teams. Getting Ioane would be a massive win for the Huskies and further help build up the talent level on the trenches.
At the safety position I sense the Huskies could get some good news over the next couple of weeks. 4 star safety Isala Aisa Wily-Ava from St John Bosco HS, CA has been on the of the Huskies top targets at the safety position for a while. After visiting for their junior day the Huskies further solidified themselves but they are still battling Michigan and ASU for his commitment. I get the sense that the Huskies could a commitment from Wily-Ava sometime this spring and land of the top safeties on the west coast. Listed at 6’2” and around 195, Wily-Ava projects to play a similar role to current Husky Alex McLaughlin (roaming safety who plays closer to the line of scrimmage).
That is all for today and as always follow me @asieverkropp on X for news on Husky recruiting.
