Huskies Land Top-Tier Defensive Lineman J.D. Hill: A Dominant Force from Mission Viejo
The University of Washingtons football program secures a significant victory on National Signing Day with the commitment of four-star defensive lineman J.D. Hill. Ranked as the thirteenth best defensive lineman in the 2026 class, Hill, a standout from Mission Viejo High School in California, brings top-tier talent to the Huskies roster.
Hills senior season was nothing short of impressive, recording over one hundred tackles and thirteen sacks in just eleven games. His exceptional performance earned him a spot in the All-American Bowl and solidified his status as a four-star prospect. Despite not being the biggest defensive lineman, Hills quickness and athleticism make him a versatile player who can be disruptive both inside and on the edge.
The Huskies successfully fended off competition from West Virginia and other prominent programs like Utah, San Diego State, Miami, and UCLA to secure Hills commitment. With several key defensive linemen expected to depart after this season, Hill is anticipated to make an immediate impact and contribute early in his collegiate career. This signing marks a promising future for the Huskies defensive line.
