Washington Huskies
· 2026-06-29
Washington Huskies are among the top three schools for four-star defensive tackle Sam LeJeune, who will announce his college choice on June 24.
The 6-foot-3, 280-pound prospect is ranked as the nation's No. 119 overall prospect and No. 11 defensive lineman by the 247Sports Composite.
Sam LeJeune took official visits to California, Washington, and Florida State in June, with the Huskies making a strong late push for his commitment.
The Huskies extended an offer to LeJeune in mid-May, and he looks like a versatile fit along the interior of defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' front.
Coach Mike Norvell's squad at Florida State is viewed as the heavy favorite for LeJeune's services, with several crystal balls predicting he will pick the Seminoles.
The Huskies currently hold four commits along the defensive front in the 2027 class, including four-star defensive tackles Jon Ioane and Tevita Nonu.
The Huskies will face Washington State Cougars on September 6, 2026, in their next game, but for now, they wait to see if they can secure LeJeune's commitment.
Gabe Brooks of 247Sports described LeJeune as an "active interior defender with strong on-field profile and encouraging functional athleticism".
The Huskies' recruiting efforts will be put to the test as they compete with California and Florida State for LeJeune's services.
And with the 2027 class shaping up to be a strong one for the Huskies, securing LeJeune's commitment would be a significant boost to their defensive front.
But the Huskies will have to wait until June 24 to see if their efforts will pay off.
So far, the Huskies have made a strong impression on LeJeune, but it remains to be seen if it will be enough to secure his commitment.
The Huskies' defensive coordinator Ryan Walters will be eager to see if he can add LeJeune to his roster, given his impressive skills and athleticism.
