Coach Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies added a high-upside linebacker in three-star Ezaya Tokio from Oceanside High School in San Diego, California to their 2026 recruiting class over the Arizona State Sun Devils, Colorado Buffaloes, Cal Golden Bears, and UCLA Bruins. Tokio is a versatile, promising addition with the frame and ability to play multiple positions for defensive coordinator Ryan Walters and linebackers coach Brian Odom as the Huskies continue to revamp their front seven for life in the Big Ten. He could also have an impact on the rest of Washington's class as they pursue prospects like 4-star DB Davon Benjamin, 4-star DT TI Umu-Cais, 3-star DB Rahsjon Duncan, and 3-star DL Ta'a Malu.
