10 Players Who Can RAISE Washington's Ceiling With STRONG Fall Camp

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are set to kick off fall camp on Thursday with a roster packed with high-upside talent eager to make their mark in college football and the Big Ten.

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff spotlights key players poised to impact the Huskies’ 2026 season, from Jayden Limar’s stabilizing role in the running back room to Champ Taulealea anchoring the offensive line.

The battle at safety between Paul Menke and Gavin Day adds intrigue, and young talents like Rahsjon Duncan and Derek Colman-Brusa push for depth chart spots. Will young talents running back Quaid Carr or reliable receiver Chris Lawson emerge as breakout contributors as the Huskies push for a spot in the College Football Playoff?
