Washington hosts five-star recruits for Apple Cup season opener
Summary

The Washington Huskies are set to host four top-ranked prospects from the 2028 recruiting class during their Apple Cup season opener against the Washington State Cougars this Sunday. Offensive tackle Antijuan Wilkes and linebacker Tahj Gray are the latest additions to an unofficial visitor list that already included Jalanie George and Tytan McNeal. Wilkes, a 6-foot-5 prospect from Detroit, continues to build a relationship with coach Michael Switzer following a scholarship offer in mid-August. Gray, who has previously visited the Seattle campus with his brother and Washington commit Chaz Gray, remains in contact with the coaching staff while evaluating 32 total offers. The visit provides an opportunity for the university to strengthen ties with these high-profile recruits ahead of the upcoming academic and athletic cycle.
