The Washington Huskies are gearing up for a defensive revolution in the Big Ten in 2025 under Jedd Fisch's coaching staff thanks to key transfer portal acquisitions. Will Ryan Walters' new scheme transform the Huskies into a Big Ten powerhouse?

Locked On Huskies hosts Roman Tomashoff and Lars Hanson break down the Huskies' revamped defensive line, featuring standouts like Anterio Thompson, Simote Pepa, Jayvon Parker, Isaiah Ward, and Zach Durfee. The hosts analyze the secondary's potential in Walters' press-man coverage system, with Tacario Davis and Ephesians Prysock under the microscope. Offensive line battles take center stage as Carver Willis, Landen Hatchett, and Drew Azzopardi have seemingly secured starting roles while John Mills, Paki Finau, Champ Taulealea, and Geirean Hatchett are pushing for their own spots. The Maxwell Award watch list nominations for Jonah Coleman and Demond Williams Jr. spark debate about their impact on Washington's upcoming season.

Don't miss this in-depth look at how Washington's roster shakeup could lead to Big Ten dominance. Will the Huskies' new-look defense stun opponents in 2023?
