Washington Huskies field one of the Big Ten's youngest rosters for 2026

The University of Washington football team entered the 2026 season with the Big Ten's third‑youngest roster, averaging 20.04 years. Coach Jedd Fisch relied heavily on freshmen and sophomores, highlighting newcomers such as true‑freshman left tackle Kodi Greene and several first‑year players who earned Freshman All‑American honors in 2025.

At Big Ten Media Days in Chicago, the Huskies discussed the status of injured running back Jordan Washington and quarterback Demond Williams Jr., who considered leaving the program before deciding to stay. Fisch also noted his restructuring of the coaching staff, eliminating the offensive coordinator title, parting ways with Jimmie Dougherty, and promoting former NFL quarterback JP Losman as the new quarterbacks coach.
