Huskies Battle For Top 2028 Recruit

The Washington Huskies are prioritizing local talent for their 2028 recruiting class, with defensive tackle Aedyn Havili being a key target. Havili, a four-star prospect ranked nationally as a top defensive lineman, has garnered significant attention. He is expected to attend the Apple Cup on Sunday, September 6, for an unofficial visit.

Despite strong efforts from Washington to retain in-state recruits, Havili has also visited Ohio State twice over the summer. The Rivals Prediction Machine currently lists the Buckeyes as the favorites to secure his commitment. The Huskies will attempt to convince the hometown hero to stay in Seattle.
