The Washington Huskies football team had a whirlwind of changes during the 2025 offseason. Twenty-one players entered the transfer portal, and now, 20 of them have found new homes for the 2026 season.
This post takes a look at where these athletes landed and what their moves might mean for their careers.
High-Profile Transfers
Adam Mohammed made headlines with his unexpected transfer to Cal. The junior running back, who many expected to start at Washington, chose a team that’s struggled in the conference.
Mohammed’s 2025 stats—525 rushing yards and five touchdowns—suggest he might be a difference-maker for the Golden Bears, even if Cal hasn’t been winning much lately.
Raiden Vines-Bright to Arizona State
Sophomore wide receiver Raiden Vines-Bright decided to head back to his hometown, Tempe, Arizona, and committed to Arizona State. He put up a solid freshman year with 24 catches for 238 yards and one touchdown.
Joining the Sun Devils could give him more chances to stand out.
Paki Finau to BYU
Redshirt-sophomore offensive lineman Paki Finau transferred to BYU after making four starts in 2025. Washington’s offensive line was crowded, so Finau saw a better shot at starting with BYU.
Key Defensive Departures
Deven Bryant, a junior linebacker, transferred to USC after starting 10 games in 2025. He tallied 62 total tackles and two pass breakups, showing off his defensive skills.
At USC, he’ll join a roster full of talent and try to make his mark.
Bryce Butler to Texas Tech
Senior defensive lineman Bryce Butler committed to Texas Tech. Butler had 19 tackles and two sacks in 2025, bringing experience to a team that was in the College Football Playoff last season.
Leroy Bryant to Stanford
Junior cornerback Leroy Bryant found a new home at Stanford. His sophomore season had its ups and downs, but in the LA Bowl, he made five tackles and grabbed two interceptions—definitely a sign of his playmaking potential.
Offensive Line Shifts
Redshirt-senior offensive lineman Maximus McCree transferred to Washington State after injuries limited his time at Washington. Now, he’s hoping for a fresh start and a bigger role with the Cougars.
Zachary Henning to Arizona
Redshirt-junior offensive lineman Zachary Henning committed to Arizona. He played in 26 games over two seasons at Washington and wants more playing time with the Wildcats.
Davit Boyajyan to Cal Poly
Redshirt-sophomore offensive lineman Davit Boyajyan transferred to FCS Cal Poly after two years without seeing the field at Washington. He’s hoping this move will jumpstart his college football journey.
Wide Receiver Moves
Junior wide receiver Audric Harris transferred to Hawaii after slipping down the depth chart. Harris had five catches for 99 yards in 2025, including a 61-yard touchdown, and now looks to make some noise with the Rainbow Warriors.
Marcus Harris to UCLA
Redshirt-freshman wide receiver Marcus Harris chose UCLA. He didn’t see much action at Washington, but his high school days at Mater Dei showed he has potential—maybe the Bruins are the right fit.
Kevin Green Jr. Uncommitted
Senior wide receiver Kevin Green Jr. is still uncommitted. Green missed the 2024 season with an injury and didn’t record any stats in 2025, so he’s still on the hunt for his next shot.
Defensive Line Changes
Redshirt-senior defensive lineman Armon Parker transferred to Maryland for his final college season. Parker played in eight games in 2025 and aims to strengthen Maryland’s defensive front.
Caleb Smith to Alabama
Sophomore defensive lineman Caleb Smith joined Alabama, a team that’s always in the national title conversation. Smith redshirted his freshman year and brings both potential and a bit of seasoning to the Crimson Tide.
Dominic Macon to Oklahoma State
Redshirt-freshman defensive lineman Dominic Macon transferred to Oklahoma State. Macon was a top-6 recruit in Oregon and now joins a team in the middle of a big rebuild.
Secondary Shifts
Redshirt-junior safety Vincent Holmes also joined Oklahoma State. Holmes played in 25 games over three seasons at Washington and wants to help the Cowboys as they rebuild.
Dyson McCutcheon to Middle Tennessee State
Sixth-year safety Dyson McCutcheon transferred to Middle Tennessee State. He recorded 14 tackles and two pass breakups in 2024 and hopes to make the most of his last college season.
Jonathan Epperson Jr. to Portland State
Redshirt-freshman linebacker Jonathan Epperson Jr. moved to FCS Portland State. Epperson, a 4-star recruit, is looking to bounce back after burning his redshirt in his first year at Washington.
Special Teams Moves
Senior kicker Ethan Moczulski transferred to Illinois after serving as Washington’s kickoff specialist in 2025. Moczulski had 51 touchbacks on 74 kickoffs and hopes to take on a bigger role with the Fighting Illini.
Hunter Solwold to Florida
Redshirt-freshman long snapper Hunter Solwold just landed at Florida. He made his only appearance in the LA Bowl and now wants to carve out a spot with the Gators.
