Jedd Fisch calls Adam Mohammed 'a specimen'

Jedd Fisch was able to bring multiple players to Washington with him from Arizona. One of them was running back Adam Mohammed, an under-the-radar player coming out of high school. Fisch is certainly high on the soon-to-be third-year player heading into spring practice.

Mohammed was called “a specimen” by his head coach when discussing progress made by players throughout the program. Fisch is not too all surprised though, seeing how Mohammed has been working in the offseason. Big-time praise for him entering a critical 2025 season.

“Adam Mohammed is a specimen,” Fisch said. “I think that he’s made incredible strides but that’s not surprising for me with Adam Mohammed with the way he’s attacking.”

There was some decent playing time for Mohammed last season. Appearing in all 13 Washington games, he rushed for 193 yards on 42 carries. Throwing to him out of the backfield was not out of the equation either, as Mohammed finished with six receptions for 41 yards.

Washington is going to have its star running back return in Jonah Coleman. The 1,000-yard mark was reached against Big Ten competition and five games over 100 yards popped up on the stat sheet. Certainly, somebody Fisch can rely on moving forward.

Spring time is when players can make themselves stand out and potentially push for more opportunities in the fall. Mohammed may be somebody to watch after Fisch handed out a nice compliment.

Jedd Fisch never received apology from Weber State over Quentin Moore injury

The Washington Huskies’ 2024 season got off to an ominous start when starting tight end Quentin Moore went down with an injury on just the 12th play of the season against Weber State. Now, he’s returning and the hope is he can make a major impact next year after losing his entire season last year.

Washington head coach Jedd Fisch never ended up hearing from anyone at Weber State about the injury. That’s behind them now, though, and the hope is that Moore can make an impact this upcoming season.

“Well, my hope is that Quentin Moore is going to be our starting Y-tight end,” Jedd Fisch said. “Our on the ball, physical, tight end. Similar to the role of Keleki [Latu], that Keleki had to take over, but even more so of that ability to be a great pass protector and play action. Be a great run blocker. Then, be able to give us some stuff vertically down the field. That’s my hope.”
