The Huskies’ impressive 2026 recruiting class added some extra shine on Tuesday night, when four-star wide receiver Jordan Clay announced that he was flipping his commitment from Baylor to Washington.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound wideout from San Antonio's James Madison High School originally committed to Baylor in July after taking an official visit to Waco a month prior. However, Clay flipped that commitment to the Huskies following a 2025 season in which the Bears suffered six conference losses and finished with an overall record of 5-7.
The Huskies capitalized on Baylor’s struggles by bringing Clay in for an official visit on Nov. 15. Clay emerged from that visit with a scholarship offer from the Huskies, and he finally flipped his commitment to the Dawgs on Tuesday night.
“I believe in what Coach Fisch and his staff are building, Go Dawgs,” Clay wrote on social media.
Likewise, Husky fans should believe in Clay. 247Sports Composite gives him a grade of 0.9298, and ranks him the nation’s No. 173 overall player, the nation’s No. 28 wide receiver, and Texas’ No. 23 overall player. He’s a three-time member of Texas’ 27-6A all-district first-team and is also a three-time district champion in the 110-meter hurdles.
As a junior in 2024, Clay finished with 41 receptions for 900 yards (almost 22 yards per catch) and five touchdowns. His senior stats aren’t yet available, but Clay performed well enough to be invited to the 2026 Polynesian and Navy All-American Bowls.
247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks evaluated Clay the day before his UW visit, and described the wideout as a “physically advanced pass-catcher with the size to live outside.” Brooks also called Clay a "physical run-after-catch weapon” and noted that his size stood out even more as a result of his “strong, athletic base” and “enormous hands” which make him “elite in the air.”
Clay now becomes the sixth-highest-ranked player in an incoming Washington class which now sports 23 commitments. According to 247Sports Composite, Clay’s arrival gave the Huskies the nation’s No. 13 overall class (255.48 points) heading into the early signing period (Dec. 3-5).
The early signing window will give players in the 2026 recruiting class a first chance to sign official financial agreements with their chosen programs, thereby confirming the commitments most recruits have already announced.
Players who bypass the early signing window will also be able to sign on National Signing Day (Feb. 4, 2026) following the results of the transfer portal window (Jan. 2-16, 2026). However, Washington head coach Jedd Fisch seemed confident that the opening of the early signing window would be a successful day for his program.
“We have a lot of great players that are signing with us on Wednesday,” Fisch said following Saturday’s 26-14 defeat to No. 6 Oregon. “We have a lot of people that want to be in the program.”
