In one of the most buzz-worthy recruiting developments of the offseason, twin brothers and standout linebackers from powerhouse St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) have officially committed to the Washington Huskies. The decision from this dynamic duo electrifies the Dawg Pound and further cements Washington’s rising recruiting momentum heading into the 2027 cycle. These aren’t just two random names on a roster sheet — they’re a front-line force of hustle, athleticism, and instincts who will arrive in Seattle ready to compete and elevate the UW defense together.
Standing around 6-foot-2 and roughly 205 pounds apiece, they bring a polished skill set that’s rare to find twice in one family, let alone on the same defense. Both have shown they can drop into coverage with speed and awareness, set the edge against the run, pressure the quarterback in blitz packages, and move laterally in space with fluidity. They’re not just physically ready — they’re smart, instinctive linebackers who thrive in complex defensive schemes and excel in communication, a huge bonus when siblings already read and react together instinctively.
“We’re big on relationships and the Washington staff really made us feel comfortable with the decision,” Ethan said, echoing what many recruits cite as the number one reason for choosing the Dawgs’ program. The coaching staff’s persistence and genuine connection with the twins — dating back to early in their high school careers — played a huge role in their choice.
Across the recruiting landscape, Washington has quietly but steadily become a destination for prospects who want to compete — not just for playing time, but for championships. The Coaches cited several key factors in their decision: strong relationships with coaches who invested in them from the start, a visit to Husky Stadium that left a lasting impression with its electric game-day atmosphere, and a defensive scheme tailor-made to highlight versatile linebackers who can both read plays and make decisive, physical impacts. It’s the kind of recruiting victory that signals not just quality talent, but recruits who believe in the trajectory of the program.
With Ethan and Justin in the fold, Washington’s 2027 class gets a ceremonial boost in identity and swagger. Linebacker rooms thrive on brotherhood — and what’s stronger than blood-bonded brotherhood? These two have an innate chemistry that can accelerate their development and help anchor a defensive unit hungry for dominance in the Pac-12 and beyond.
Husky fans should be pumped — because seeing double at linebacker might just become a nightmare for opposing offenses. Woof, Husky Nation — whether it’s in practices or game-day thunder at Husky Stadium, the Coach twins are ready to make Seattle their new hunting ground.
