Huskies Land Top Cornerback, Lose Two O-Linemen
12 Jul
Summary
- Washington secured 4-star cornerback Censere Gaylord.
- Two offensive linemen, Lincoln Mageo and Dajohn Yarborough, chose other schools.
- Tye Kennedy, son of a UW legend, committed to the Huskies.
The University of Washington football team experienced a mixed outcome on a significant 2027 recruiting Saturday. The Huskies secured a commitment from 4-star cornerback Censere Gaylord, who chose Montlake over offers from Georgia and Georgia Tech. This represented a positive start to the day for the Huskies' coaching staff.
However, the team faced setbacks with two offensive linemen who opted for other programs. Lincoln Mageo, an offensive tackle from Oceanside, California, committed to Michigan, a decision that was anticipated as he had previously canceled his official visit to Washington. Dajohn Yarborough, an offensive guard from Chandler, Arizona, selected California over several offers, including Washington.
Despite losing Mageo and Yarborough, the Huskies did manage to add offensive lineman Tye Kennedy, son of former Washington legend Lincoln Kennedy. Kennedy chose the Huskies over Michigan. The UW's 2027 recruiting class now stands at 24 commitments, with potential for further additions.
