During the Washington Huskies‘ 28-25 loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, Jedd Fisch’s coaching staff had an opportunity to make an impression on several of its top targets across the 2027, 2028, and 2029 classes who made their way to Montlake.
Among the unofficial visitors in attendance was four-star safety Brandon Nash Jr., a product of St. John Bosco High School in Southern California. Ranked as the No. 262 overall prospect and No. 23 safety in the 2028 class by the 247Sports Composite, the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has been a priority target of safeties coach Taylor Mays since he received an offer from the Huskies in February 2025.

“Coach Mays is the one recruiting me for Washington,” Nash told Dawgman.com’s Scott Eklund in April. “He’s awesome. From being down here in LA, he’s a legend pretty much. Washington is known for having elite DBs. Using his great experience, he’s confident and quiet, and he’s a great coach.”
Nash has become a coveted prospect around the country, with 16 offers and Ohio State viewed as the heavy favorites for his services, as 247Sports’ Blair Angulo logged a crystal ball for him to choose coach Ryan Day’s Buckeyes in December 2025.
On film, Nash is a sure tackler who plays with good range, along with the physicality that Mays looks for at the position. He also shows off great instincts in coverage and is able to make plays on the ball while lined up at several positions in the secondary.

Alongside Nash, the Huskies are also heavily in the mix for several other coveted four-star defensive backs in California, including Derrick Coleman Jr. and Jalen Flowers.
