The Washington Huskies received a major recruiting boost for their 2027 class after 4-star quarterback Sione Kaho made a bold statement affirming his strong interest in the program. Hailing from Lincoln High School in Washington, Kaho has positioned himself as one of the top quarterback prospects in the state and nationally, giving the Huskies confidence as they continue building a talented 2027 recruiting class.
Rated as the 16th-best quarterback in the 2027 class by 247Sports, Kaho has drawn attention from several major programs, including Oregon, Cal, and Stanford, but he indicated that Washington holds a special place in his plans. The Lincoln High standout emphasized his admiration for Coach Todd Fisch and the Huskies’ pro-style offensive system, praising the way the program develops quarterbacks and prepares players for the next level.
Kaho has visited the UW campus multiple times over the past year, attending games, meeting with the coaching staff, and breaking down film sessions to better understand the Huskies’ offensive scheme. He described these visits as “great experiences” and said they strengthened his connection to the program.
In addition to his relationship with the coaching staff, Kaho has maintained communication with Washington’s in-state 2027 commits, including Maurice Williams and Braylon Pope. He has worked out with Williams during the offseason and built a strong rapport with Pope, highlighting the positive environment and camaraderie within the recruiting class.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing around 210 pounds, Kaho describes himself as a game manager who can also make big plays in key moments. While he avoids directly comparing himself to other quarterbacks, he draws inspiration from players such as Drake Maye and CJ Stroud, incorporating their traits into his own unique style.
Kaho also addressed his timeline for making a decision, indicating that he plans to commit in June 2026, though he cautioned that circumstances could change, suggesting that fans and recruiting followers should stay alert for potential developments.
With Kaho’s strong interest now public, the Huskies have not only added a highly-ranked quarterback to their recruiting board but also reinforced the perception that Washington can continue to compete for top-tier talent in-state and nationally. His commitment—or even a strong indication of commitment—provides momentum for the Huskies as they prepare to assemble a class that could make a significant impact on the program for years to come.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely in the coming months to see whether Kaho will solidify his decision, but for now, Washington Huskies supporters have a major reason to smile about their 2027 quarterback prospects.
