Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies are eyeing a turning point as they prepare for the Bucked Up LA Bowl hosted by Gronk against Boise State, while Danny Sprinkle and Hannes Steinbach are celebrating a historic basketball comeback over USC. Can stars like Demond Williams Jr. and Desmond Claude ignite sustained success across both programs?

Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff breaks down Washington’s post-season football prospects, spotlighting key opt-out decisions from Jonah Coleman, Tacario Davis, and Denzel Boston, which could have NFL draft implications, while examining how a young, dynamic roster could set the stage for a breakout 2026 campaign. On the hardwood, the Huskies snapped their drought against USC with an 18-point comeback, amplified by standout performances from Hannes Steinbach and Desmond Claude. The episode explores injury comebacks, roster depth, and the momentum building under coach Danny Sprinkle.

With a top-12 recruiting class arriving and Big Ten play looming, the Huskies’ future looks brighter than ever. Will this week mark the start of a new era in Washington athletics?
