Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are gearing up for a high-stakes transfer portal push with urgent needs for star power to elevate their College Football Playoff ambitions. With key losses on the defensive line and running back depth in flux, can Fisch land commitments from big names like AJ Green, Nick Marsh, and CJ Baxter? The search for elite pass rushers and game-changing wide receivers like Marsh promises to reshape the Huskies' roster for the 2026 season.

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff breaks down Washington's strategy, projecting 7–10 portal additions, spotlighting must-watch running backs like Hollywood Smothers and Turbo Richard, and emphasizing defensive upgrades. The episode also addresses looming questions for Danny Sprinkle and Washington men’s basketball as injury woes mount after Wesley Yates undergoes wrist surgery, and the pressure on Desmond Claude, Zoom Diallo, and Quimari Peterson to step up.

Will the Huskies’ bold moves pay off in both football and basketball this year?
