Washington OL Nate Kalepo enters the NCAA Transfer Portal

Washington offensive lineman Nate Kalepo has entered the transfer portal.

Kalepo spent five seasons with the Huskies, making 40 appearances and 18 starts. Kalepo started all 15 games in the 2023 campaign. He started at right guard at Michigan State, and at left guard in all other contests.

The Washington native was named the UW coaches’ offensive power player of the week following the win over Utah. Kalepo was a pivotal piece to Washington’s front five, which won the Joe Moore Award this season, an honor annually presented to the best offensive line in college football.

Washington’s offensive line only allowed 12 sacks in 15 games this season, the fifth-least in the country. It isn’t a coincidence the Huskies averaged the second-most passing yards in the nation this year.

Nate Kalepo played high school football at Rainier Beach (WA), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 376 overall recruit in the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Kalepo is only the latest Washington player to enter his name into the transfer portal. The program has seen a mass exodus of talent after head coach Kalen DeBoer left his position to become Nick Saban’s successor at Alabama.
