Huskies football is in good hands in 2024 and beyond
The future looks bright for the Washington football program under Head Coach Kalen Deboer.
With an impressive start to his coaching career, he has shown his ability to lead the team to success. The upcoming home game against Oregon, which will be hosted by ESPN College Gameday, could be a turning point for both coach DeBoer’s career and the entire program.
Hosting such a high-profile game will attract top recruits to witness the incredible college football atmosphere at Husky Stadium. This could potentially sway them into committing to the Huskies.
Currently, the team has 14 hard commits, and their recruiting class is ranked 45th nationally. However, hosting uncommitted recruits during this game could significantly change those rankings, especially with the presence of important prospects like DL Jericho Johnson and Seattle’s own, RB Jason Brown.
In addition to recruiting, the team will also have an abundance of returning starters who will keep the offense and defense strong. While they will lose some seniors and possibly a few underclassmen to graduation and the NFL draft, there is still a lot of talent returning. Players like WR Germie Bernard, RB Cam Davis, RB Dillon Johnson, and CBs Jabbar Muhammed and Elijah Jackson with a very young offensive line, will provide a solid foundation for the team.
The biggest question mark will be the quarterback position, as they will have to fill the shoes of the talented Michael Penix Jr. They have options in veteran QB Dylan Morris, freshman QB Austin Mack, and recent commit QB Dermaricus Davis. Coach Deboer will also likely explore the transfer portal to address any gaps left by graduation and the draft.

With the move to the Big Ten conference, the Huskies will need to adapt to the physicality and toughness that characterizes the conference. However, with Coach DeBoer’s proven success and the team’s overall talent, they should be able to adjust well. The transition to the Big Ten may present new challenges, but the Huskies are built for success not only in the current season but also in the years to come.
Coach DeBoer’s track record and the potential impact of hosting College Football Gameday demonstrate the program’s commitment to excellence. The Huskies have a strong foundation and are poised to continue their success in the coming seasons. With a combination of talented recruits, returning starters, and effective coaching and development, the future looks promising for the Washington football program.
