As Jedd Fisch took over in Seattle, the new head coach on Montlake was tasked with revamping the roster (and coaching staff) as the Washington Huskies dealt with an impressive number of departures following the end of last season.

And while a ton of attention has gone towards Michael Penix Jr.’s replacement in Will Rogers, the Huskies are also having to replace a ton of talent at wide receiver, where Washington has an intriguing group that has a chance to make life easier for Rogers in this new offense.

Jeremiah Hunter leads the way after transferring to Washington from California and he brings with him an abundance of experience and 143 receptions for 2,056 yards and 13 touchdowns. That’s good to have on any offense.

Giles Jackson landed with Washington after transferring from the Michigan Wolverines back in 2021 and he’s shown some potential to help the Huskies. Then there’s Denzel Boston, who at 6-4 can provide a tall pass catching target down the field for Washington’s offense.

All three of those guys are set to start at wide receiver for Washington. Rashid Williams, Camden Sirmon, and Audric Harris are listed as backups on the two deep for the Huskies.

According to the game notes for the first Washington Huskies game of the season, here’s what the two-deep looks like for Washington’s wide receivers vs. Weber State:

WR: Jeremiah Hunter, Sr.
Rashid Williams, RS-Fr.

WR: Giles Jackson, Sr.
Camden Sirmon, Jr.

WR: Denzel Boston, So.
Audric Harris, Fr.

It will be interesting to see how this group is able to connect with Will Rogers, who is also a new face for folks in Seattle. Rogers transferred in from Mississippi State, where he spent much of his time thriving in Mike Leach’s Air Raid, but this offense is going to be radically different from what he’s played in back in Starkville.

Brennan Carroll and Jedd Fisch have their work cut out for them as they try to develop a passing attack here, but there’s some intriguing talent for the Huskies to work with.
