During their Saturday afternoon showdown with Penn State, Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies coaching staff pulled in some serious talent for unofficial visits, and one name stands out: 2028 three-star edge rusher Andre Robinson, a product from IMG Academy who just dropped a junior year stat line of 39 tackles, 13 for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Yeah, you read that right.
The Rising Star’s Impact
Robinson’s journey to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, followed his first two high school years at Camden High in New Jersey. In his short time in Florida for his junior campaign, he has absolutely exploded onto the scene. He’s already ranked as the No. 50 player in Florida and the No. 40 edge rusher nationally by 247Sports Composite. This weekend’s trip to Montlake was his first unofficial visit to UW, but not his first this fall, as he also hit up Georgia Tech in September. On film, this 6-foot-4, 225-pound prospect screams speed. The guy’s got a long, athletic frame that lets him just fly around the edge, putting quarterbacks under immense pressure. Plus, his athleticism means he can make plays all over the field, even in open space. It’s no wonder he’s already racked up offers from powerhouses like Notre Dame, Indiana, and even Penn State.
Huskies’ Eastern Push and Key Connections
Here’s where it gets interesting for the Huskies. Head Coach Jedd Fisch and outside linebackers coach Aaron Van Horn have an extra connection that could make all the difference. Remember 2027 four-star IMG cornerback Censere Gaylord? He’s already set to bring his talents to Montlake next season, and he was even on campus this past weekend, too. That means Robinson was visiting with a current IMG teammate who’s already committed to UW. This staff has a clear history of not being afraid to travel eastward to chase down top-tier recruits. Considering how much success Washington has had recently bringing in defensive linemen, this strategy is clearly paying off big time.
Saturday wasn’t just another game day on Montlake, it was a crucial chance for the Huskies to make a lasting impression on a rapidly rising pass rusher from the 2028 class. Keeping this momentum going in recruiting is absolutely massive for the program’s future, especially as they look to continue building a dominant defensive front. The pursuit of Andre Robinson is officially on, and every visit matters.
