Washington gets 4-star QB commitment in stellar 2027 recruiting class

Washington's stellar 2027 recruiting class now has its quarterback.

Jedd Fisch and his staff landed a commitment from four-star passer Blake Roskopf out of Desert Edge (Ariz) on Tuesday, bringing in the No. 12 quarterback in the 2027 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings. Roskopf is the second player ranked in the Composite top 200 to commit to Washington, following Sumner (Wash.) wide receiver Braylon Pope.

Roskopf, who visited Seattle for Junior Day in early March and was crystal-balled to Washington by Brandon Huffman of Rivals on Monday, chose Washington over North Carolina, Oregon, Georgia, Tennessee, UCLA, and Indiana, among others.

Primarily a pocket passer, Roskopf "shows easy velocity, can get the ball down the field with little wasted motion," per former 247Sports analyst Greg Biggins' evaluation. He plays his prep ball with fellow Washington commit Zerek Sidney, a four-star recruit who committed to the Huskies in late January.

The Huskies have been busy adding pieces on offense, as Roskopf's addition now makes four of the top five recruits in the 2027 class on that side of the ball. Pope, Sidney, and Roskopf are joined by four-star running back Jeremy Adeyanju, with four-star defensive lineman Jon Ioane the lone defensive player atop Washington's class rankings.

With Demond Williams Jr. potentially off to the NFL next offseason, Roskopf could factor in rather quickly for playing time. The Huskies could also turn to Stanford transfer Elijah Brown and redshirt freshman Treston Kini McMillan, who are currently competing for the backup quarterback job behind Williams, redshirt freshman Dash Beierly, or true freshman Derek Zammit.

That's a crowded quarterback room made up entirely of scholarship players, but that's the kind of room Fisch and quarterbacks coach JP Losman are capable of building with Fisch's history of quarterback development and Losman's experience in the NFL.

Washington now has 11 commitments in the 2027 class.
