Washington Is PUSHING HARD For 4-Star UCLA DL commit Carter Gooden

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are heating up on the recruiting trail after offering four-star defensive lineman Carter Gooden, who has been committed to the UCLA Bruins since early July.

Locked On Huskies hosts Roman Tomashoff and Lars Hanson break down Washington's aggressive pursuit of the product of Tabor Academy in Massachusetts, analyzing his recruitment as the Tennessee Volunteers and Miami Hurricanes, along with former Penn State Nittany Lions coach James Franklin have all been involved. The discussion covers the 2026 class size, with potential additions including four-star offensive tackle Marlen Bright, three-star linebacker Ramzak Fruean and three-star tight end and Florida commit Kekua Aumua. The hosts examine 2027 running back targets like Noah Roberts and wide receiver priorities, including four-star Tre Moore from Texas, who took an unofficial visit to Seattle for Washington's win over Illinois. Key topics include roster management in the revenue-sharing era, Washington's national recruiting footprint across the Big Ten, and the pursuit of wide receiver prospects Braylon Pope, Zerek Sidney, Osani Gayles, and Damani Warren.
