## Resource

Washington Huskies offensive lineman John Mills is primed for superstardom in college football. Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau spotlight breakout candidates on Jedd Fisch's roster for the 2026 season, weighing all-American potential for Mills, the pass-rushing upside of transfer portal acquisition Darin Conley, and the versatility of linebacker Zaydrius Rainey-Sale. The duo debates Jacob Lane’s ability to convert pressures into sacks, Dylan Robinson’s ceiling as a shutdown cornerback, and whether Baron Naone’s ability as a blocker and pass catcher will transform the Huskies’ offense. Attention shifts to the future as the NCAA’s new 5-for-5 rule could reshape Washington’s roster management. The hosts break down how players like Landen Hatchett, Xe'ree Alexander, and Alex McLaughlin stand to benefit, and what this means for freshman development, special teams rotations, and the future depth across the offensive line, linebacker corps, and secondary.
