The Washington Huskies<\/a> are nowhere near done adding reinforcements to the defensive line in the 2027 class.<\/p>\n

Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff has been showing a lot of interest in three-star edge rusher Josh Christensen<\/a> from Lake Oswego High School in Oregon, and following an unofficial visit to spring practice on Saturday, the Huskies<\/a> officially became the 14th program to extend a scholarship to the 6-foot-6, 250-pound prospect, who is ranked as the No. 4 player in the state and No. 90 edge rusher in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.<\/p>\n

The visit to Seattle was Christensen’s second in as many months, after he was also on campus in early March for Junior Day. Since then, he’s set up a trio of official visits: two to Big Ten programs, Illinois and Northwestern, while the Washington State Cougars are also set to host him for a visit.<\/p>\n

Coach Dan Lanning and Washington’s arch-rival Oregon Ducks have also hosted Christensen on an unofficial visit in recent months, but have yet to extend a scholarship offer to the big-bodied prospect, who was named Three Rivers League Defensive Lineman of the Year during his junior season.<\/p>\n

On film, Christensen displays a lot of raw talent that could translate to either the edge or the interior at the next level. A big, strong player with a high motor, natural power, and plenty of athleticism, if he can continue to refine his technique, he could develop into a versatile threat in defensive coordinator Ryan Walters’ scheme.<\/p>\n

As part of the No. 8-ranked recruiting class by 247Sports, the Huskies hold commitments from a pair of defensive linemen: four-star defensive tackle Jon Ioane and three-star defensive lineman Matamatagi Uiagalelei, with an expectation that position coach Jason Kaufusi is looking to add three or four more prospects.<\/p>\n
