DaJohn Yarborough can complete Washington football's strong OL class
As the Washington Huskies look to fill out their 2027 offensive line class, the only uncommitted prospect left on the board has been one of Jedd Fisch and position coach Michael Switzer's top priorities throughout the cycle, four-star DaJohn Yarborough.
The 6-foot-5, 340-pound product of Basha High School in Arizona is set to decide between a final four of California, Florida State, Mississippi State, and Washington, following official visits to the programs in May and June. The Huskies got the final chance to make an impression on him over the June 19 weekend, and now, with his July 11 commitment date looming, there's little clarity in which way he may be leaning.
However, as the Huskies continue their push to land his pledge and round out their offensive line class, that visit could loom large for several reasons.
First, Fisch and Switzer brought all of their top offensive line targets to campus at the same time in hopes of creating chemistry between the group, as Yarborough was flanked by center pledge Reis Russell, along with four-star Gecova Doyal and three-star Tye Kennedy, both of whom committed to the Huskies on July 1.
Second, now that Doyal and Kennedy have announced their commitments, the hulking prospect is the piece that could be a big complement to both the depth and talent Switzer is looking to build up front.
While Yarborough's physicality and ability as a run blocker point to a future on the interior, where he has a chance to make an early impact in a program that isn't shy about playing freshmen up front, his athleticism and ability to counter opposing pass rushers with both power and speed could help him get some reps at tackle as he develops.
If the Huskies are able to reel in a commitment from Yarborough, who is ranked as the nation's No. 427 overall prospect and No. 25 interior offensive lineman by the 247Sports Composite, it would give Fisch's class ten blue-chip pledges, according to the service, and a Big Ten-ready piece who could make an impact early in his career.
