Washington Basketball Adds Davidson Guard In Transfer Portal
Sunday night, former Davidson guard Parker Friedrichsen announced his commitment to Washington, becoming UW's first transfer addition this year.
Coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies secured their first transfer portal addition of the offseason late Sunday night. Former Davidson starting guard Parker Friedrichsen, a 6-foot-4 junior from Bixby, Oklahoma, announced his transfer to UW, marking a victory for the Huskies and Sprinkle, who reportedly beat out Kansas State for the veteran guard. Friedrichsen began his career at Wake Forest in 2023-24 and made six starts (66 total appearances) for the Deacons before getting an expanded role this past season at Davidson.

8 points and 2. 5 rebounds per game, helping lead the Wildcats to a 20-win season in 2025-26. Friedrichsen was a four-star recruit in the 2023 class and finished his high school career with 2,149 points to hold the all-time scoring record at Bixby High School.
“A highly skilled guard, Friedrichsen is an excellent three-point shooter, but more versatile scoring threat than he gets credit for,” 247Sports’ Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein wrote in an evaluation of the Oklahoma native. “He can come off pin-downs and staggers, make shots off the dribble, and deep threes as well. He’s also a threat in the mid-range area with a good knack for creating space and a natural fade on his release that helps him get it off.
