Washington moves to committee approach at running back
Summary

The Washington Huskies head into the upcoming season with a rotation of running backs following the departure of Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed. Coleman was selected by the Denver Broncos in the 2026 NFL draft, while Mohammed transferred to the California Golden Bears. Head coach Jedd Fisch now looks to a group of five players to carry the workload in the backfield. Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar split first-team repetitions during fall camp, while Brian Bonner Jr. and Trey Cooley remain in the mix for carries. Jordan Washington is expected to miss the season due to a neck injury sustained during spring practice. The staff plans to utilize multiple players to support the passing game led by quarterback Demond Williams Jr.
