Recruiting Roundup: Are The Huskies On The Verge Of A Massive 2028 Commit?

Happy Sunday Husky fans. Last week I took the weekend off as it’s somewhat of a slower time in recruiting, however with camp in full action and some recruiting news trickling in I wanted to mention some news that was pretty massive. With high school football about to kick in there will likely be more news not only on the 2027 front but also on the 2028 front.

5 star defensive end Jalanie George from Desert Edge HS, AZ was recently predicted to be leaning to UW with some predictions coming in from On3. George, who is rated as the 2nd best prospect in the country by On3, already has a really good frame (he’s listed at 6’5″ and around 240 pounds currently). George narrowed his list to a top 6 a couple months ago and the Huskies were the only west coats program on the list. As a sophomore last season George had 16 TFL’s and 6.5 sacks on a team with 2 current Husky commits (QB Blake Roskopf, and WR Zerek Sidney). The Huskies would love to add another top player from Arizona and Coach Fisch and his staff have really taken advantage of their prior relationships in that state. It sounds like George could be making a decision soon, and if that’s the case I like where the Huskies stand for him. If the Huskies are able to reel him in it would be another massive win for Coach Fisch and his staff.

5 star offensive tackle Antijuan Wilkes from Cass Technical HS, MI was offered by the Huskies staff this last week. On3 has him rated as the 5th best offensive lineman in the 2028 class. Offensive line coach Mike Switzer has been recruiting really well over the last couple of cycles and is definitely taking some shots on some top prospects around the country after landing 5 star offensive lineman Kodi Greene in the 2026 class. Wilkes, has a good frame to grow into (6’5″ and around 265 pounds currently), and already holds offers from most of the top programs around the country. It will be interesting to track Wilkes over the next year to see if the Huskies can get him on campus.

That is all for today and as more recruiting news comes out I will make sure to share it here. A lot of high school teams will start to kick off their seasons over the next several weeks as well so there will be some news to share. That is all for today and as always follow me @asieverkropp.
