Rams drop 'Thursday,' a parody of Ice Cube's 'Friday,' ahead of the NFL draft!
Lathan Sommerville re-signs with the Washington Huskies for the 2026-27 season, becoming the first player from the 2025-26 roster to do so. The 6-foot-10 center previously transferred from Rutgers and faced a knee injury last season.

Lathan Sommerville was the first transfer commitment in April for coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies.
Once again, just over one year later, the Huskies’ junior center became the first player from the 2025-26 roster to formally re-sign for next season, according to his agency, Endurance Management.
The 6-foot-10 transfer from Rutgers University made seven starts and 22 total appearances while dealing with a knee injury in his first season at UW as a backup behind sixth-year senior starter Franck Kepnang, who recently announced his transfer out of the program.
Sommerville, a Peoria, Illinois native, is one of three returning frontcourt pieces for Sprinkle going into his third season on Montlake, along with sophomore Nikola Dzepina and senior center/forward Mady Traore, who combined for 36 games and 7 starts last year.
Although Sommerville made only seven starts in his first season with the Huskies, the sophomore shot 43.8 percent from the floor—fifth-best on the team—and finished seventh on the team, averaging 2.6 rebounds per game, which should increase as he takes a more expanded role in 2026-27.
Sprinkle is still expected to add at least one or two post transfers to add with the ex-Scarlet Knights reserve, though only two players have formally announced their move to UW since the portal opened, former Davidson guard Parker Friedrichsen and ex-Gonzaga guard/wing Steele Venters.
With the pair of transfers and the expected return of junior guard Wesley Yates III to go along with the trio of front-court returners, the Huskies still have eight scholarship spots available to fill to reach the NCAA maximum of 15 for next season.
