Washington football continues to pursue coveted 3-star California QB

Even though the Washington Huskies already have one of the nation's top quarterbacks committed in the 2027 class in four-star Blake Roskopf , Jedd Fisch's coaching staff is still keeping tabs on another target. On Friday, quarterbacks coach JP Losman spent the day on an in-school visit with three-star signal caller Caden Jones from Crean Lutheran High School. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound prospect, who is ranked as the nation's No.

36 quarterback and No. 44 player in California by 247Sports, has long been a priority target for the Huskies , and made his top seven in March alongside Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, North Carolina, and UCLA as he cut down his list of 39 offers. Now, even with Roskopf committed, the Huskies have still shown plenty of interest in Jones, who took an unofficial visit to UW in April to take in a spring practice alongside his teammates, four-star wide receiver Ty Johnson and three-star cornerback Evan Mack, all three of whom were expected to visit for Junior Day in March but were unable to make the trip.

Thanks to @JPLosmanQB7 for hanging out with me all day at school, practice and for a great dinner. Appreciate it big time. Let’s go UW!
