The Washington Huskies football team is blessed by an atypical situation in the modern era of college athletics: they're returning a significant amount of talent.

The Huskies will have four-of-five starters from the offensive line returning from last season, the team's second leading receiver from last year, sophomore slot receiver Dezmen Roebuck, returning to the team and junior quarterback Demond Williams Jr. also returning to the fray (although there was briefly a question whether or not Williams would actually return).

Most of the positions on Washington, both on offense and defense, are sorted with the rotational depth being the key positional arrangements to watch going forward.

However, there are still starting roles at wide receiver and running back the team needs to sort through before.

Both positions are still up in the air due to players either being out or missing most of spring practice.

The two wideout spots are on the outside with Roebuck being the starter in the slot. Rashid Williams, who played the whole spring and caught the longest pass of the Huskies' spring game from Demond Williams, is the front-runner for one of those spots.

As for the other outside receiver role, there's a number of candidates up for that role. Multiple of the candidates for the outside receiver role are transfers to the program, sophomore Bodpegn Miller and senior Christian Moss. The latter of the two transfers is the most experienced of the receivers up for one of the starter spots. And that experience could end up what wins him the job.

Moss joined the Huskies after transferring from Kennesaw State. His season with the Owls last year was his best. He caught 45 passes for 689 yards and two touchdowns. Moss began his career with Virginia Tech before joining the Owls.

Moss was unable to show off his experience with the team and missed most of the year due to an undisclosed injury.

Moss is listed at 6-foot-3, 199 pounds, making him a size match for the outside. He also possesses decent speed on the outside, recording a 4.45-second 40-yard dash time.

Washington has other sizable options on the outside that can help fill the 6-foot-4, 212-pound vacancy left by Denzel Boston, who was picked in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.

Four-star Class of 2026 wide receiver Jordan Clay is listed at 6-foot-3, 207 pounds and sophomore and Ohio State transfer Bodpegn Miller is listed at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Other returning receivers, such as Chris Lawson, are also candidates.

However, none of those aforementioned players have the in-game experience Lawson has, and that could give him the edge when head coach Jedd Fisch throws puts together his first official depth chart of the season.
