Several of the top draft prospects will be in action for UW, including running back Jonah Coleman and wide receiver Denzel Boston.
The University of Washington football team went 9-4 in 2025 to win the Los Angeles Bowl, playing well but not well enough to get back to the College Football Playoff.
But with 2025, the offseason drama of Demond Williams Jr., and the transfer portal behind them, it's time for the Huskies to move into the future.
But while the future is exciting, we'll get one more look at the past Huskies on Monday as the program holds its annual Pro Day on campus. This will be an opportunity for NFL teams to get a look at Washington's draft-eligible players, including wide receiver Denzel Boston and running back Jonah Coleman. Coleman is a senior, but Boston elected to forego his senior season to enter the draft.
Both players were at the NFL Combine last month, but neither player participated in the full complement of drills and workouts, electing to mostly participate in interviews. Boston did only a handful, meaning he'll run the 40-yard dash and workouts at UW. Coleman didn't do any drills but bench press.

A four-year standout at Arizona and Washington, he played in 50 games, amassing more than 3,000 yards rushing (3,054) and 34 touchdowns. His 15 rushing touchdowns last season helped Washington to a 9-4 record and a win in the LA Bowl. He also had two receiving touchdowns in 2025, and his 17 total scores led the Big Ten.
He had 31 catches as well, setting a new career-high and continuing to improve that part of his game. Coleman also drew praise at the NFL Combine for his impressive answer on the importance of pass blocking.
"You're not going to play if you can't pass pro. Can't play if you ain't going to protect the quarterback. I'm paying him $100 million and you getting paid $2 million. Who's more important? And that's part of being selfless. You have to be wanting to pick up pass pro... There's no technique. There's technique, but at the end of the day, it's a dog fight... You have to bring that mentality in there that I'm going to kick your butt and protect my $100 million quarterback."
He was a major figure in Washington's transition from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten in 2024, and he followed head coach Jedd Fisch to Washington after he also left Arizona.
As for Boston
Though he played in four different seasons (2022-25), he was only charged with three seasons of eligibility at Washington. Playing in 43 career games in those four years, Boston had 132 catches and 1,781 yards to go along with 20 total touchdowns. He averaged 13.5 yards per reception for his career.
He was a dynamic part of the Huskies' offense in each of the last two seasons, having 63 and 62 catches, respectively. He had 11 touchdowns in 2025, earning Third-Team All-Big Ten honors.
He did catch some passes at the NFL Combine, running the "gauntlet."
