Blockbuster Commitment: UW Lands a Specially Talented 4-star QB Over Rival Team

The Washington Huskies scored a major recruiting win as four-star quarterback announced his verbal commitment to the program. Hailing from New Jersey, he chose the Huskies over a strong list of contenders, including Alabama, Syracuse, and Mississippi State. His decision gives Washington a headliner for their 2026 recruiting class and continues their momentum in landing top-tier talent from across the country.

He has been on the radar of national programs for months, with Alabama extending an offer in February. The 6-foot-3 signal-caller quickly became one of the most coveted prospects in the 2026 cycle, praised for his strong arm, poise in the pocket, and football IQ well beyond his years. Washington’s ability to pull him out of the Northeast is a testament to the staff’s growing recruiting prowess under new leadership and their commitment to building a competitive future.

For Alabama, however, Zammit’s decision leaves them still searching for a quarterback in the 2026 class. After landing five-star Keelon Russell in 2025, expectations were high that the Crimson Tide could follow it up with another elite passer. But with Zammit off the board and other top targets narrowing their lists, Alabama faces a steeper climb this time around in finding their quarterback of the future.
