2024 Recap
While Washington reached the national championship game in 2023, regression was expected in 2024. The Huskies lost three first-round picks from that offense — quarterback Michael Penix Jr., wide receiver Rome Odunze and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu — while head coach Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama.
Jedd Fisch took over and coached Washington to a 6-7 record last season. There’s some optimism for improvement in 2025, though, thanks to three potential stars on offense in quarterback Demond Williams Jr., running back Jonah Coleman and wide receiver Denzel Boston.
Washington will need to improve in the trenches on both sides of the ball to take a step forward.
Biggest Strength: An offense with a lot of potential…
Washington features a top-five running back in Jonah Coleman and a potential first-round wide receiver in Denzel Boston. Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. also flashed star potential, as he led all true freshmen at the position in PFF grade (82.0) last season.
Biggest Weakness: …If the offensive line improves dramatically
Washington fielded one of the worst offensive lines in the country last season, with the unit finishing with a 50.9 grade, the second-worst mark in the Power Four. The Huskies also ranked second-to-last in the Power Four in pass-blocking grade and 106th in the FBS in run-blocking. They lost three starters from that group, and neither of the incoming transfers posted a 70.0 PFF grade last season.
