It's always a good sign when your 5-star recruit, as the designated headliner of your two-dozen commitments, shows up in your football stadium the weekend before signing day, which is what offensive tackle Kodi Greene did on game day.

While the Huskies didn't win on Saturday, losing to Oregon 26-14, they had to find comfort in knowing where their prized player for the future was and that someone else wasn't getting an audience with the 6-foot-5, 320-pound Greene to tempt him with a late offer.

Greene, of course, is the coveted offensive tackle who grew up locally before moving to the Los Angeles area to play for vaunted Mater Dei High School powerhouse and was, in fact, once committed to the rival Ducks.

UW coach Jedd Fisch has made it clear -- with all of the player poaching and school flipping going on and deemed acceptable for now -- that recruiting isn't over until there's a personal signature scribbled on a document and delivered electronically to Montlake.

Check and see who's officially in the fold for the Huskies. We'll continually update the chart below.

The sign-day surprises were the UW picking up another 4-star wide receiver in Trez Davis from West Monroe, Louisiana, flipping him from Tulane, while losing 3-star athlete Dre Pollard from Las Vegas to Stanford with its new coach Tavita Pritchard.

On Wednesday at 5:30 a.m. PT, the Huskies officially began receiving the players' paperwork and welcoming a supposed 23 firm recruits into the program, beginning with Blaise LaVista, the 3-star wide receiver from Frankfort, Illinois, followed by 3-star cornerback Ksani Jiles from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

The recruiting websites also revealed bright and early that the Huskies had flipped the 6-foot, 180-pound Davis and he signed a short time later.

"I love Washington -- they create NFL wide receivers," Davis told Rivals.

Pollard, who was either a receiver or a cornerback, became the second player to flip from the UW, with previously committed corner CJ Lavender signing with UCLA on Wednesday after de-committing several weeks earlier.

Davis was committed to the UW by 8:05 a.m. PT from his hometown, which is east of Shreveport, Louisiana.

He signed with the UW the morning after 6-foot-4, 210-pound receiver Jordan Clay from San Antonio flipped from Baylor to the Huskies on Tuesday night.

He missed four games with a wrist injury that required surgery, but returned to score 3 touchdowns and pile up 284 all-purpose yards while wearing a cast in an upset win over Alexandria. As a junior, he caught 53 passes for 998 yards and 8 scores.

This gave the UW three 4-star receivers in Mason James from Norman Oklahoma, Davis and Clay, plus LaVista, the 3-star prospect.

Next to become official was James, followed by someone to throw to all of these touted wide receivers, 3-star quarterback Derek Zammit from Wayne, New Jersey.

Gavin Day, a 4-star safety from Las Vegas, was the first West Coast player to turn in his UW paperwork and be announced at roughly 7:30 a.m.

Ah Deong Yang, a 3-star defensive lineman from Puyallup, Washington, came next, followed by place-kicker CJ Wallace from Bellweather, California, and 4-star linebacker Ezaya Tokio from Oceanside, California.

At 8 a.m., the Huskies received a flurry of documents from Northwest recruits in from 3-star tight end Sam Vyhlidal from Lake Oswego, Oregon, 3-star running back Ansu Sanoe from Lake Oswego, Oregon, and 3-star linebacker Ramzak Fruean from Spanaway, Washington.

At 8:30, the biggest new Husky in terms of size made it official in 6-foot-8, 330-pound Dominic Harris from Las Vegas.

Shortly thereafter, 4-star edge rusher Derek Colman-Brusa, Washington state's No. 1 player from Burien, became official, making it 14 UW signings to that point.

"Home -- now lets get to work," Colman Brusa posted online.

At 9:10 a.m., Greene was announced as officially signed, as was 4-star cornerback Jeron Jones from Mission Viejo, California, upping the total to 16.

Ten minutes later, Clay, the Baylor receiver flip, was announced as signed.

At 10 a.m., 3-star defensive lineman Ta'a Malu from Tacoma provided his documents, bringing the official total of signed players to 18.

At 10:25, 4-star defensive lineman Tafanua Umu-Cais from Englewood, Colorado, had his documents turned over to the UW.

Ten minutes later, 4-star defensive lineman Jayden "JD" Hill, the second of two Husky recruits from Mission Viejo, California, had signed, becoming the 20th player in the fold.

At 10:45 a.m., 4-star running back Brian Bonner made himself officially a Husky by signing as the 21st newcomer with two to go.

Bonner, a career 3,043-yard rusher with 58 touchdowns overall for Valencia High, north of Los Angeles, will carry the future rushing load with the 3-star Sanoe, the who enjoyed a 1,020-yard rushing season with 17 touchdowns, including five in one game, for Lakeridge High in the Portland suburbs.

At 12:15, 3-star cornerback Elijah Durr signed with the Huskies, leaving only fellow corner Rahsjon Duncan from Oakland to make it official.

By 1 p.m., UW coach Jedd Fisch sat down and confirmed that Duncan had signed and he 23 players, and either that was a final number or another player or two could be added in the next few days.

And among all of the defensive imports, the Huskies will sign as many as four cornerbacks, while four receivers is the high number for the offensive side.

With the Huskies going heavy on offensive linemen with five for the 2025 class, they signed three this time in Harris, Deong Yang and the aforementioned Greene, who began his high school career at Eastside Catholic in the Seattle suburbs.

That's 330, 343 and 320 pounds, respectively.

As for defensive linemen, the UW confirmed the addition of three more, including a pair of 4-stars in Umu-Cais from the Denver suburbs and Hill from Mission Viejo, California.

According to the recruiting websites, the UW has the makings of a top 15 class with its late additions.

UW coach Jedd Fisch was scheduled to hold a recruiting media briefing at 1 p.m.
