The collegiate football recruiting landscape has seen significant developments as several teams have secured commitments from promising prospects for the 2027 class. The Washington Huskies have notably landed twin linebackers, while Colorado and California have also made key additions to their rosters.
Washington Welcomes Twin Linebackers
On February 13, the Washington Huskies strengthened their recruiting class by securing commitments from twin brothers Ethan and Justin Coach. The duo, known for their skills at Southern California’s St. John Bosco High School, has been instrumental in the school’s football success.
Despite earlier statements indicating they would not commit as a pair, both players chose Washington, marking them as the first California recruits in the Huskies’ 2027 class. Their recruitment adds to the Huskies’ momentum, elevating their class ranking to No. 12 nationally and No. 3 in the Big Ten. They join Titus Osterman, a linebacker from Idaho, to enhance the defensive lineup under the guidance of linebackers coach Brian Odom.
Colorado Lands Cornerback from Miami
The Colorado Buffaloes, facing scrutiny in their recruiting efforts, made a noteworthy addition by signing cornerback Davon Dericho, a three-star recruit from Miami. This commitment marks the Buffaloes’ first for the 2027 class under head coach Deion Sanders.
Dericho, ranked among the top 60 cornerbacks and prospects in Florida, cited the opportunity to play for Sanders, whom he described as “the best to ever do it.” He chose Colorado over offers from established programs such as Florida State, Indiana, Louisville, and Pittsburgh, signaling a promising start for the Buffaloes in the upcoming recruitment cycle.
California Bears Acquire Receiver from Oregon
In another exciting development, the California Bears have welcomed Gunnar Perry, a promising receiver from Notre Dame Prep in Scottsdale, Arizona. Perry is the younger brother of Cooper Perry, who recently transferred from Oregon to Cal.
The Bears, under the direction of receivers coach Ike Hilliard and head coach Tosh Lupoi, offered Gunnar on January 19, and he committed to the university less than three weeks later. This swift recruitment reflects the Bears’ aggressive strategy to enhance their receiving corps.
As the recruiting cycle continues, these commitments illustrate the efforts of various programs to build competitive teams for the future. Washington, Colorado, and California are aiming to capitalize on their recent successes to attract further talent in the months ahead.
