Interior offensive lineman DaJohn Yarborough will choose from one of five finalists, which includes the Huskies

The Washington Huskies football team could be due for an influx of talent from the high school graduating class of 2027.

The Huskies have been named as the finalists for several high-end prospects, including four-star defensive lineman and Seattle native Tevita Nonu four-star safety Gavin Williams and four-star wide receivers Osani Gayles and Tre Moore.

Washington could also make another addition to the trenches in June.

One of the Huskies top targets, four-star offensive lineman DaJohn Yarborough, is down to his final five teams and will make his commitment June 27 per a post on "X" from Rivals.com reporter Brandon Huffman.

Yarborough will be choosing from Washington, Rutgers, Mississippi State, Florida State and Cal.

Yarborough, listed at 6-foot-5 and 340 pounds, currently attends Basha High School in Chandler, Ariz. Multiple of UW's top recruits in the '27 class, including four-star wide receiver Zerek Sidney and four-star quarterback Blake Roskopf, are also Arizona natives.

Yarborough is ranked as the 410th-best overall player, 22nd-best interior offensive lineman and ninth best player in Arizona, per the 247Sports Composite.

247Sports' rankings on Yarborough are in the general vicinity of where Rivals has him, as well. The publication has Yarborough ranked as the 404th-best overall player, 31st-best interior offensive lineman and eighth-best player in Arizona.

247Sports analyst Greg Bivens had the following scouting report on Yarborough:

- Massive offensive line prospect who has a college body right now. Played primarily tackle as a sophomore but frame wise, projects best as an interior lineman at the college level. Plays with a ton of raw power and has a punch that can knock an opposing lineman backward. A true finisher who plays through the whistle and has the kind of nastiness you love to see in the trenches. Plays high at times but when he plays with good pad level, he’s a dominant player at the point of attack. Has a wrestling background to check off the multi-sport box and has one of the highest ceiling’s of any player out West in the ’27 class.

The Basha High School student will take official visits with four of his five finalists before making his commitment. He's set to visit Mississippi State on May 29, Florida State on June 5, Cal on June 11 and the Huskies on June 19.

Currently, it seems like anyone's game when it comes to earning a commitment from the 340-pound lineman. According to Rivals.com's prediction model, Cal, Washington and Florida State are almost neck-and-neck when it comes to their respective odds to earn a commitment. The model as Cal with a 23% chance to land him, the Huskies with a 20.1% chance to earn a commitment from Yarborough and Florida State with a 17.3% chance to land him.
