## Resource

Jedd Fisch, Ryan Walters, Taylor Mays, and the Washington Huskies boast one of the Big Ten’s top safety units, can Freshman All-American Rylon Dillard-Allen and All-Big Ten honorable mention Alex McLaughlin anchor a College Football Playoff-caliber defense? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau spotlight the Huskies’ elite secondary, analyzing Dillard-Allen’s physicality and breakout potential in the post safety role, McLaughlin’s production, and the rising depth led by Paul Mencke and freshman Gavin Day. The duo also examines how Walters’ scheme enables aggressive, high-IQ play, elevating Washington’s defensive ceiling for 2026. Attention shifts to the Huskies’ crowded tight end room, where Decker DeGraaf and Baron Naone emerge as key playmakers amidst lingering questions about roles and blocking responsibilities with Kade Eldridge injured. Could freshman Kekua Aumua become the next high-end in-line blocker? Recruiting takes center stage with underrated commits like Reis Russell and Maurice Williams, exploring how Washington’s eye for under-the-radar talent could spark future Big Ten dominance.
