As the Washington Huskies look to add some high-end pieces to their secondary in the 2027 class, one player who has made a significant move up the board is four-star safety Jaden Walk-Green.
After safeties coach Taylor Mays extended an offer to the 5-foot-11, 180-pound product of Corona Centennial High School in Southern California, he's seen his stock rise nationally, as he now holds 22 offers and is ranked as the No. 346 overall prospect and No. 34 safety in the 2027 class by the 247Sports Composite.
Along with an official visit to Montlake for June 5, he has also set trips to Oregon for May 29, Arizona State for June 12, and UCLA for June 19. While the Huskies continue to push for several of the other top safeties in the Golden State, including four-stars Gavin Williams, Isala Aisa Wily-Ava, and Malakai Taufoou, Walk-Green appears to have quickly made his way into Washington's top priorities at the position.
During his junior year, Walk-Green tallied an eye-popping 125 tackles, 10 interceptions, and a forced fumble while displaying high-end speed, versatility, and ball hawk traits that are somewhat reminiscent of UW safety and 2025 Freshman All-American Rylon Dillard-Allen.
He excels in both man and zone coverage while displaying the ability to line up anywhere in the secondary, from outside cornerback and nickel to safety, with impressive instincts and, most importantly, elite physicality. If there was one non-negotiable that Mays looks for on the recruiting trail, it's the same level of physicality that he played with during his time with the USC Trojans, and Walk-Green's film shows that same mindset.
The Huskies currently hold one commit in the secondary, from three-star cornerback Maurice Williams, and as they continue to push for some of the top prospects on the West Coast, Jedd Fisch's coaching staff could move quickly to try and secure a commitment from Walk-Green as he continues to rise.
