Huskies Land Blue-Chip Edge Recruit From Garden State
Dominant edge defenders don’t grow on the cherry trees in the University of Washington quad.
Jedd Fisch and the Huskies coaching staff reached far away from campus to find a potential pass rusher in Montvale, New Jersey, with the hopes that Chaz Gray, a Class of 2027 recruit out of St. Joseph Regional High School, will blossom when he arrives on Montlake next year. A three- or four-star recruit, depending upon which recruiting ratings one looks at, Gray chose Washington over Tennessee and Clemson on Tuesday.
Beating out Volunteers and Tigers for an East Coast prospect who also held offers from Ohio State and Penn State and at least 19 other programs shows that his 247Sports high three-star (0.89) rating may be one star lighter than the way Gray is regarded by college coaches.
O’Dea’s Tevita Nonu Latest Win as Huskies Look to Load Up on the Defensive Line

While head coach Jedd Fisch and defensive line coach Jason Kaufusi look far and wide for tall and wide bodies, the latest recruiting win is just a few miles from Huskies Stadium. Tevita Nonu, a 6-4, 270-pound Class of 2027 defensive lineman from O’Dea High School, committed to Washington on Tuesday.
Nonu chose Washington over Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon and Arizona. This was a crucial win for UW.
Huskies Rebuilt Defensive Line Taking Shape During Spring Ball
A lot of things have changed since Elinneus Davis boarded a plane for the first time in his life to visit a school 1,400 miles away from his hometown of Moorhead, Minnesota.
Since that June day in 2022, he’s seen coaches come and go, along with every defensive lineman he got to know when he started practicing in 2023. For the second straight year, the Washington Huskies football team will feature a defensive line with mostly new faces.
He’s used to the changes, just like when he learned to handle air travel. It’s not easy at first, but one gets used to it.
Where’s the Beef? Huskies Hoping Defensive Line Shows Up This Fall
The Washington Huskies coaching staff made a big effort to increase the size of UW’s defensive line this offseason. Stopping the run against the Big Ten’s best will be a major key in 2025.
