DawgmanRadio: Talking 2026 Class Husky Defensive Signees

Last week, Washington's coaching staff signed 25 players during the early signing period. In this podcast, Dawgman's Scott Eklund and Chris Fetters go through each of the 12 defensive prospects who signed and where they see each one fitting in once they arrive. A big focus was the versatility of the defensive prospects including top in-state prospect Derek Colman-Brusa who could play almost anywhere along the defensive line next season. He is joined by another top in-state prospect in O'Dea's David Schwerzel who signed late on Wednesday with the Dawgs as well as top out-of-state targets Tufanua Ionatana Umu-Cais  and JD Hill and a developmental prospect like Ta'a Malu who is only in his second season of playing football. At linebacker the Huskies added two long, hard-hitting athletes at the position in Ramzak Fruean and Ezaya Tokio, each of whom is over 6'4" tall. In the secondary, much like the defensive line, the Huskies added five players, four of which could project at four different positions in the deep patrol. Elijah Durr, Jeron Jones and Ksani Jiles each look like they are fits at corner. Gavin Day, a hard-hitting safety from the state of Nevada, will be an in-the-box safety while Rahsjon Duncan is a swing player who could play both safety or corner and was called by national pundits/analysts the hardest hitting corner in class.
