Washington Lands Elite DT Joseph Peko

Washington locks in a massive defensive tackle in Joseph Peko, a three-star recruit and son of NFL vet Domata Peko, after a three-year pursuit that culminated in a Seattle visit sealing his commitment. Standing at 6’3” and 310 lbs, Peko is a disruptive run-stopper with elite versatility, capable of playing nose guard or three-technique. Initially committed to Colorado after his father’s departure, a senior-year injury opened the door — and a final pitch from Fisch and Kaufusi made the Huskies the clear choice. He’ll join the 2026 class in under three weeks, instantly boosting Washington’s defensive line depth. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
