The Huskies had five former players picked in the final four rounds of the draft Saturday

Washington head coach Jedd Fisch speaks to the media about former Huskies players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft after a practice Saturday at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

The Washington Huskies football team entered the final day of the 2026 NFL Draft on Saturday already having two players off the board.

Wide receiver Denzel Boston was selected in the second round of the draft by the Cleveland Browns and cornerback Tacario Davis was picked by the Cincinnati Bengals in the third round, both on Friday.

Washington had five players invited to the 2026 NFL Combine, so it was expected that UW would have more representatives hear their name called in the draft beyond Boston and Davis.

That expectation came to fruiting in the final four rounds (rounds four-through-seven) of the draft Saturday. The Huskies had five total players picked Saturday, bringing their total up to seven for the draft.

UW upped its total of future pros to eight after tight end Quentin Moore signed an undrafted free agent contract following the draft.

Here's an overview of Washington's new representatives in the NFL.

Denzel Boston, WR (Cleveland Browns, 2nd Round, 39th Overall)

As mentioned before, Boston was the first Husky to hear his name called in the draft. He was picked 39th by the Cleveland Browns.

Boston was UW's leading receiver last season. He caught 62 passes for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Tacario Davis, CB (Cincinnati Bengals, 3rd Round, 72nd Overall)

Davis, who was limited to just seven games this past season due to rib. He was able to finish the year with two interceptions and five passes defended.

Jonah Coleman, RB (Denver Broncos, 4th Round, 108th Overall)

Coleman will be taking his talents to the Mile High City after leading Washington in rushing yards and touchdowns this past season.

Coleman ran 156 times for 758 yards and 15 touchdowns last season with the Huskies.

Carver Willis, OL (San Francisco 49ers, 4th Round, 127th Overall)

Willis, who spent his last year of college ball in Seattle with Washington, will  be heading to the Emerald City's NFL representatives', the Seattle Seahawks, arch rivals â€” the San Francisco 49ers.

Willis played left tackle last season with UW but has been been working out as a guard and a center this offseason in the combine and workouts with NFL teams.

Ephesians Prysock, CB (San Francisco 49ers, 4th Round, 139th Overall)

Prysock will be joining his college teammate, Willis, with the 49ers.

Prysock, like Tacario Davis presents a unique combination of size and length (6-foot-4, 195 pounds) and speed (4.45-second 40-yard dash time).

Prysock had one interception and seven passes defended last year.

Anterio Thompson, DT (Atlanta Falcons, 6th Round, 208th Overall)

Thompson was the first player not invited to the combine who heard his name called in the draft.

In his lone year on Montlake, Thompson had 30 total tackles (17 solo) including 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. he also had two passes defended.

Zach Durfee, DE (Jacksonville Jaguards, 7th Round, 233rd Overall)

Durfee was plagued with injuries throughout his career but was a quick riser on several teams' boards this offseason due to his athleticism. He ran a 4.55 40-yard dash and posted 39 inches in the vertical jump at the Huskies' pro day.

Durfee could also be the underlooked/undervalued "Prospect X" recently featured by ESPN.

In 11 games last season, Durfee had 37 total tackles (16 solo), including five tackles for loss, four sacks, one forced fumble and two passes defended.

Quentin Moore, TE (Washington Commanders, Undrafted Free Agent)

Per a post on "X" from Moore's agent, Brett Tessler, Moore signed with the Washington Commanders following the draft.

Moore is mainly a blocking tight end. He caught five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown last season.

Omari Evans, WR (Kansas City Chiefs, Undrafted Free Agent)

Evans was arguably the fastest player on the Huskies roster last season. He had a 4.28 time in the 40-yard dash at UW's pro day.

Evans finished last season with 17 catches for 254 yards and a touchdown.
