Washington Football Checks In With 3-Star New Jersey Edge Rusher
Among the dozen recruits from the state of New Jersey with an offer from UW one received a school visit from inside linebacker coach Brian Odom.
Washington was the first school to offer St. Joseph Regional edge Chaz Gray last January and remains squarely in focus for his recruitment. Gray, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound outside linebacker from Montvale, New Jersey, received a visit from linebackers coach Brian Odom on Friday.
The three-star Garden State prospect, per 247Sports' rankings, is the No. 9-ranked prospect from the state of New Jersey and the No. 32 edge recruit in the 2027 class by 247Sports.
The coveted defender has added over two dozen offers since UW became his first offer last year, including recent offers from Clemson, Penn State, and Tennessee, while South Carolina got the most recent unofficial visit from Gray on April 9. With the Huskies ' increased efforts in recruiting New Jersey since Jedd Fisch took over as head coach in January 2024, over 20 prospects from the state have received offers from the Big Ten school to date over the past 27 months. Thank you @CoachBOdom for the visit.
