What Will Washington's Future At Quarterback Look Like In 2027?

After his brief consideration of the transfer portal, will Demond Williams Jr. stay with the Washington Huskies or head to the 2027 NFL Draft following the 2026 college football season? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff examines Williams' future and the coaching staff's trust in four-star commit Blake Roskopf as a potential successor. The mailbag explores whether shifting the UW-Oregon rivalry out of Big Ten Rivalry Weekend would benefit either program and breaks down the emerging edge rotation featuring Jacob Lane, Isaiah Ward, Russell Davis, Devin Hyde, and true freshman standouts Ramzak Fruean and JD Hill. Can head coach Jedd Fisch prove he can win big games against ranked rivals like Oregon, Indiana, and USC? Tomashoff analyzes running back Quaid Carr’s breakout potential, makes bold predictions for sleeper freshmen like Elijah Durr, and updates the linebacker rotation. Who will be Washington's first commit in the 2028 class? Tomashoff also gives an update on coach Danny Sprinkle and the basketball program, and names Seattle's best burger.  00:00 Intro 00:53 Washington’s long-term quarterback plan and Demond Williams’ future 02:55 Thoughts on scheduling Washington-Oregon rivalry weekend 05:13 Edge rotation and defensive line depth for 2026 09:04 Special teams after spring practice 11:12 Jedd Fisch's improvement in big games, running back projections 22:22 Linebacker competition, recruiting, basketball, and Seattle's best burger Become a Locked On Huskies Insider: joinsubtext.com/lockedonhuskies Photo Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea- Imagn Images Locked On Huskies is part of the Locked On Podcast Network Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
