Huskies expect instant transfers
Washington’s spring preview notes transfers like RTomashoff34 are expected to contribute immediately as spring practice gets under way in about a week (x.com). The staff will lean on those newcomers during spring reps to speed up installation and depth evaluation (x.com).
Washington’s most immediate portal additions include wideout Christian Moss, a 6-foot-3, 199-pound transfer from Kennesaw State who caught 45 passes for 689 yards and two TDs in 2025 and joins UW with one year of eligibility. (gohuskies.com) The offensive line upgrade centers on Carver Willis, a five-year Kansas State veteran who committed to Washington for his final season and is projected to slide into the left-tackle role after starting at right tackle for K‑State. (durangoherald.com) Washington added interior size in the portal with defensive tackles Anterio Thompson (listed at 293 pounds, transfer from Western Michigan) and Simote Pepa (listed at roughly 350 pounds, transfer from Utah), both enrolled via the portal and expected to factor into the early-lineup rotation. (gohuskies.com) Spring practice for the Huskies opens at the end of March — the program’s spring guide and local coverage set the first practice around March 31–April 1 — and NCAA rules allow up to 12 full‑pad sessions during the spring window. (gohuskies.com) Head coach Jedd Fisch and staff have said they’ll use the spring period to integrate veterans from the portal and assess depth quickly, with the coaching staff expecting roughly 86 scholarship players on the roster for spring drills. (lastwordonsports.com) The immediate need for experienced transfers was amplified by recent NFL draft activity and combine enterers — Washington lost top contributors such as Denzel Boston, Tacario Davis and Ephesians Prysock to the 2026 pre‑draft process, increasing the urgency to evaluate newcomers in spring reps.
