Washington Secures 4-Star QB Derek Zammit for 2026 Class

Washington Huskies have made significant additions to their sports programs, notably securing commitments from top recruits and transfers. The football team landed four-star quarterback Derek Zammit from New Jersey for its 2026 class, choosing Washington over other prominent programs, including Alabama, Syracuse, and Mississippi State. On the basketball side, former Indiana forward Bryson Tucker has committed to Washington via the NCAA Transfer Portal; Tucker, a highly regarded high school recruit and former McDonald's All-American, averaged 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in his freshman season at Indiana. While Tucker's shooting efficiency needs improvement, his size, athleticism, and basketball IQ make him a promising addition, and he is expected to contribute defensively and on the boards. With Tucker's arrival, Washington now boasts a top-10 transfer class this offseason, though the team has also seen several players depart through the portal. These moves highlight Washington's active efforts to rebuild and strengthen both its football and basketball rosters.
