Washington quietly won nine games in Jedd Fisch's second season, and there is plenty to like about the Huskies entering 2026. Demond Williams Jr. is back after an eventful offseason, Fisch is taking a larger role in calling the offense, and a talented roster gives Washington a chance to make another move up the Big Ten.
