Arizona transfer running back Jordan Washington commits to Washington

Arizona running back Jordan Washington has committed to Washington out of the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on Twitter on Sunday evening.

Washington will follow former Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch to the Huskies, albeit after the spring semester. Washington signed with Arizona in the 2024 recruiting class.

The talented former four-star running back is certainly not the first player to follow Fisch from Arizona to Washington. In fact, 11 different players or signees have made the move from the Wildcats to the Huskies.

Washington, though, is one of the best on paper.

Prior to signing with Arizona, Jordan Washington was rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 350 overall recruit in the nation in the 2024 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

He also checked in as the No. 25 running back in the class and the No. 29 overall player in the state of California, hailing from Long Beach (CA) Jordan.

Washington loses linebacker to transfer portal

Washington linebacker Jordan Whitney has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3’s Pete Nakos has learned.

Whitney spent just one year with the Huskies, making very little impact. He did not see any game action in 2023, redshirting in the process.

So he’ll have plenty of remaining eligibility wherever he ends up. And someone will assuredly take a chance on the former three-star prospect.

Prior to enrolling at Washington and later entering the NCAA transfer portal, Jordan Whitney was ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 1,123 overall prospect in the 2023 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

He also checked in as the No. 107 linebacker in his class and the No. 100 overall player in the state of California, hailing from Oxnard (CA) Pacifica.

Washington has seen heavy attrition this offseason following the departure of coach Kalen DeBoer for the Alabama job.

According to the On3 transfer tracker, 31 players have now entered the NCAA transfer portal for the Huskies since the season ended, including Jordan Whitney. Meanwhile, the Huskies have added 20 players to the ranks via the portal.
