The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to talk about what they expect to see when fall camp breaks for Washington on August 6.

Starting with the quarterback position, they go through position-by-position and talk about the main players for each room, expected position battles, the health of each room going into camp, and who needs to step up and be counted on as the Huskies look to improve on a season where they averaged 409.9 yards and 34.1 points per game.

When it comes to the signal-callers, what does Demond Williams need to do to take the next step in his development? Is it for sure that former Stanford quarterback Elijah Brown will be his backup?

How ready are Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley when it comes to leading the running backs despite not playing at all during spring? And who is going to join them as the backs Scottie Graham will have to lean on this fall?

Will Christian Moss be able to overcome his spring nicks and dings to provide the kind of production and leadership needed for a very young receiving corps? And who are the younger receivers that have the potential to step up and be counted on?

As far as the tight ends go, will they have the bodies necessary to play more than 11 or 12 personnel? Could a third tight end emerge? Will Kade Eldridge go back to strictly being a tight end, or did Jedd Fisch see enough of him at fullback to continue using him there too?

And when it comes to the offensive line, are the starters set even though two of them missed basically all of spring? Are there still position battles to be had, especially inside? And who are the linemen Michael Switzer can count on for providing quality depth?

One thing is for sure; they are so much bigger and better as a unit than they were back when Fisch took over in 2024.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together ahead of the Fourth of July weekend to give their thoughts on this week's Washington commitments - OL Tye Kennedy (son of Lincoln Kennedy) and Gecova Doyal - and also the other players set to make their announcements soon.

With Evan Mack deciding on Arizona this week, where will UW go next with regard to cornerback? They're waiting on Censere Gaylord to announce, and they also gave J'Isaiah Mitchell an offer as a defensive back after they offered him earlier as a receiver. Will Mitchell, who recently committed to Boise State, take another look at UW on the other side of the ball?

The guys also talk about the next scheduled commit that Washington fans should be paying attention to - Chandler (Ariz.) Basha OL DaJohn Yarborough. Yarborough is expected to announce his decision on July 11, a week from Friday.

And if Yarborough decides Washington is not his preferred destination, who will the Huskies target? There are a couple of local prospects in Curtis' Rashaun Lavata'i (just committed to Washington State) and Inglemoor's Ben Rainwater (recently committed to Boise State) that the UW coaches could circle back on.

The final question; if the Huskies do end up landing Yarborough and Gaylord to get their 2026 class number to 25 prospects, does Scott expect that number to stay at 25 by the time Signing Day comes in December?

Now that FBS schools are in a recruiting dead period, it's a good time to reset and talk about all the latest news regarding UW Football recruiting.

Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund of Dawgman.com caught up Friday morning to break everything down, from Washington's latest commitments - Jaden Walk-Green and Braylon Logan - to wrapping up UW's last recruiting weekend in June and a look ahead to those players looking to make commitment decisions very soon.

Osani Gayles is set to decide on Saturday, June 27 and two offensive linemen that just visited UW - Tye Kennedy and Gecova Doyal - are set to announce their commitment decisions on July 1st. Another offensive lineman that just visited Montlake, DaJohn Yarborough, has announced a commitment date of July 11th.

Scott gives his best guesses as to where those players will commit to, as well as others who have visited Washington officially but could announce at any time, including Censere Gaylord, Nolan Balke, Jag Ioane, Evan Mack, and Caden Jones.

Scott also talks about the Rashaun Lavata'i recruitment, why he thinks Washington State is the best place for him, and also talks about how the Huskies might finish out their 2027 recruiting class.

Will it be with a late flip of a player the Huskies have been recruiting a long time that has committed to another school? Or will it be a late addition to their war room board, a high-flying senior that just burst onto the scene the last few months? If it's the latter, Scott has at least one particular local prospect in mind. 

All of that and a lot more were covered in this hour-long recruiting reset.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - got together during this recruiting 'bye' week to catch up on all things UW Football recruiting.

First they talk about the last five UW commits - Reis Russell, Tevita Nonu, Tre Moore, Dontay Tyson, and Chaz Gray - and then recap the last two official visit weekends.

Then they talk about why there are no official visits this weekend (it's a pretty easy answer) and then preview the last big official visit weekend in June for the Huskies, focusing on OL and Special Teams recruiting.

To finish things up, Scott offers up his best guesses as to how Washington will finish out their 2027 recruiting class. Hint: they could end up taking more than 25 prospects, depending on how things work out. They could also lose a commit or two before December's Signing Day.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together this week to break down what they saw from the defensive side of the ball during spring football. Over the course of 14 practices and a spring game, there was a ton to talk about, as well as any questions left unanswered depending on who was available and who wasn't.

Starting with the EDGE players and working their way down the order position-by-position, Kim, Chris, and Scott broke down their observations with one eye on spring ball and also with one eye focused on what it all means as the team heads toward the offseason and into training camp in August.

And so many questions to answer... Who were the standouts? Who took big strides during April? Who took advantage of their opportunities? Who needed to show more?

With so many first year players getting ample turns with other defensive players limited or out of spring football altogether, who were the players that the coaches relied on?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - decided the last audio mailbag went so well that they wanted to do it again. So we took a sampling of your questions and put them all together. The first half of the podcast answered the ones that were related to Washington Football, and after a quick break they answered your UW recruiting-based questions.

Below are the questions that were asked, including the members who asked them.

jazzhands67

What are the biggest differences between last years team and this years in May?

MontlakeMonty

When will this national narrative that Coach Fisch and Demond are desperately trying to leave UW finally fade?

ASkalbania

Which position groups will be the strength of the team this season and which ones (if any) should we be worried about?

OlyFan

This staff seems to be leaning into a bigger than expected recruiting class from the high school ranks. They retained (checks notes) 61 players this past offseason. What do you think the plan will be with the portal after the season?

BDAWG2412

What are some things Demond Williams has improved at?

gohuskies898

Curious as to what High School coaches think of the program now.

WHB

Blake Roskopf's size, stats, arm strength makes him a Jacob Eason look alike. Eason was the top recruit in the country as I recollect. Blake is a four-star (just) rated prospect. Some believe he is way underrated. What's your take?

Zdawg22

Can UW ever recruit better than Oregon if NIL playing field isn't leveled? With half share in Big 10, and no big whale donors for football resulting in a big resource disadvantage.

MontlakeMonty

What is the real story on the Adam Mohammed transfer? Did we seriously lose our top back to Cal because we couldn't afford to pay him what they did?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - got together this week to break down what they saw from the offensive side of the ball during spring football. Over the course of 14 practices and a spring game, there was a ton to talk about, as well as any questions left unanswered depending on who was available and who wasn't.

Starting with the quarterbacks and working their way down the order position-by-position, Kim and Chris break down their observations with one eye on spring ball and also with one eye focused on what it all means as the team heads toward the offseason and into training camp in August.

And so many questions to answer... Who were the standouts? Who took big strides during April? Who took advantage of their opportunities? Who needed to show more?

How big was not having Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley when talking about the UW running backs? How big was not having Christian Moss to the overall outlook for the Husky receivers? And how much did not having the Hatchett brothers and Kolt Dieterich affect how the offensive line performed?

Buoyed by some stellar defensive play, the Purple Team beat Team Gold 27-10 in the annual 'Dawgs After Dark' Spring Game at Husky Stadium Friday night.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were on hand to check everything out and talk about the stars of the night, as well as talk about some of the players we didn't get to see as much of.

And there was also talk about the format of the game, how the team was split up via a draft so it wasn't best on best, twos on twos, etc... and whether or not other teams would get anything out of it while scouting them as opponents.

Scott offered up a quick recruiting update on the players that were seen there, as well as what the UW coaches have on their plates as they enter a very busy May evaluation period where they can hit the road on search of more 2027 recruits for their class, as well as lay the groundwork with future classes.

And then the guys offer up their final thoughts on the game, on spring in general, and what the Huskies have to do in the offseason this summer to really hit the ground running when August training camp arrives.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - spent Tuesday night dissecting what the could from the two-and-a-half practice they just saw out on the east field next to Husky Stadium.

But they also spent a fair part of it talking about the individual play of certain Washington players that have taken advantage of opportunities in the absence of others. Some examples include WR Deji Ajose, EDGE Ramzak Fruean, CB/Nickel Ramonz Adams Jr., and RB Ansu Sanoe.

Scott also offered up some thoughts on Washington's newest 2027 commit, Glacier Peak TE Zach Albright, and also talked about some of the prospects that are expected to be at Husky Stadium this coming Friday night.

And the guys finished up the podcast talking about a number of players on both sides of the ball that Washington fans should be looking out for during Friday night's spring game. Last year had roughly 20,000 UW fans out in attendance, and I know they're trying hard to top that number this year.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had to find a spot to record while the UCLA-UW Softball game was going on behind them to offer up their thoughts on today's final scrimmage before 'Dawgs After Dark', as well as update UW fans on the players that got drafted today.

And as it fortuitously worked out for us, Zach Durfee was taken as the 7th Husky in the 7th round just moments before we were set to wrap up the podcast, so we were able to give our thoughts on that news too.

To start, we talked about the general tone of the scrimmage, which went 130 plays according to UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. We talked about the gulf in class between Demond Williams and the rest of the quarterbacks room. We talked about the running backs that continue to get turns and how that room will invariably change once Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley are cleared to play.

We talked about how good it was to see Ohio State transfer Bodpegn Miller get some snaps during the scrimmage and also how some of the lesser-known pass-catchers, like Charlie Crowell, started to get some production. We talked about interceptions by Kayden Greene and freshman safety Gavin Day highlighting the play the defense. 

We talked about the battle in the trenches, how it's been a blessing that no one has really gotten injured in there so far this spring, and how the rooms will definitely improve, especially when the DL gets former Mississippi State standout freshman Kai McClendon back.

But mostly it was about how the defense is still a ways ahead of the offense, and also how the competition level has continued to rise and rise, leading to more scuffles and how the competition has pressurized things to where there's more breakdowns - like poor snaps, penalties, and the like.

Scott offered up a quick recruiting update, as there were a few prospects there today but UW is really gearing up their recruiting efforts to coincide with Dawgs After Dark. And then Zach Durfee was picked by Jacksonville shortly before we closed out the show.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - were at Husky Stadium Thursday to check out Day 11 of Washington's spring football campaign, and it felt a bit like the calm before the storm.

You're getting to the part of camp where guys can start to hit a little bit of a wall, especially the younger players, but in this case the shells and shorts practice felt more like a warmup for what UW fans should expect to see Saturday afternoon during their last big scrimmage before Dawgs After Dark, the following Friday.

For one thing, it wasn't a very long practice. It went basically two hours as UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch cut things short right before we expected to see another team period to round things out. That may have been because of the ongoing NFL Draft and players and coaches wanting to watch some of their former teammates potentially get drafted.

It might also be because Saturday's scrimmage is expected to be a longer one and get want the available players to be as fresh as possible.

The Dawgman guys talked about what they did see today, including some two-minute work for the first time all camp, and also who is standing out among the UW running backs, receivers, and tight ends. Who is getting more open; Dezmen Roebuck, or Decker DeGraaf?

They also talked about the physical transformation for some of the younger players, like Ansu Sanoe, Ryken Moon, and others, and Scott offered up a quick recruiting update as a number of important recruits are expected to be at Husky Stadium on Saturday. And they had one big visitor in today.
