In a stunning offseason move, former Arizona quarterback, has officially committed to the Washington Huskies, reuniting with head coach Jedd Fisch. The move comes after the tumultuous departure of Demond Williams Jr., providing the Huskies with an experienced signal-caller ready to stabilize the offense heading into the 2026 season.
Noah Fifita
Fifita spent the past several seasons at Arizona, where he earned a reputation for leadership and poise in the pocket. Despite previous opportunities to transfer, he had remained loyal to the Wildcats—until now. The decision to enter the transfer portal and join Washington marks a significant shift in his career, as he brings both familiarity with Fisch’s system and proven on-field experience to a team in need of a quarterback.
Washington fans have been eagerly anticipating a solution at quarterback following the Williams saga, and Fifita’s arrival answers that need. Known for his accuracy, decision-making, and leadership skills, Fifita is expected to compete immediately for the starting role and provide stability for the Huskies’ offense.
Head coach Jedd Fisch expressed excitement over the reunion. “Noah knows our system, our culture, and he’s a competitor who can make an immediate impact,” Fisch said. “After everything this offseason, adding a quarterback of his caliber is a huge boost for our program.”
With Fifita in the fold, the Huskies now turn their attention to surrounding him with playmakers in both the transfer portal and recruiting class. Offensive weapons, including receivers and tight ends, are expected to be targeted to maximize Fifita’s effectiveness and help Washington compete at a high level in the Big Ten.
This reunion not only strengthens Washington’s roster but also sends a message to the college football world: despite offseason drama, Jedd Fisch and the Huskies are winning the transfer battle and positioning themselves for a competitive 2026 campaign.
