TOP 2027 DT Target Jon Ioane Takes VISIT To Washington

Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are targeting four-star defensive tackle Jon Ioane as one of the cornerstones for their 2027 class, can Fisch, Ryan Walters, and Jason Kafusi secure a commitment that could reshape the Huskies’ Big Ten future? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff spotlights Ioane’s versatile skillset, detailing why his recruitment is a must-win for the program and how his addition, alongside blue-chip talents like Tevita Nonu and Troy Bowens, could transform Washington's defensive line into a powerhouse in the Big Ten.

The episode covers key in-state prospects such as offensive lineman Gecova Doyal and quarterback Sione Kaho, dives into the new wave of skill position targets, including wide receiver Zion White and tight end Colt Lumpris, and breaks down roster-building strategies through the transfer portal. Plus, Tomashoff assesses Washington’s spot in On3’s way-too-early 2026 rankings and outlines the high-stakes expectations facing quarterback Demond Williams Jr. after a breakout 2025 season and controversial off-season, including his brief attempt to enter the transfer portal.

Will the Huskies rise to meet the demands of Big Ten competition?
