Four-Star RB Brian Bonner Commits to Washington Huskies

Four-star running back Brian Bonner, one of the top prospects in the 2026 recruiting class, has committed to the University of Washington, boosting the Huskies' class to 17th nationally. Bonner, who chose Washington over schools like Penn State, UCLA, and Nebraska, is ranked as the sixth-best running back nationally and the 13th best player in California. Known for his speed and versatility, Bonner excels as a runner and a receiver, with a proven ability to break big plays and make defenders miss, making him a potential early contributor at the collegiate level. His high school career at Valencia was marked by outstanding production, including nearly 1,800 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns in 2024 alone. Analysts highlight his combination of size, explosiveness, and skill set, with few weaknesses, projecting him to be a special player at the next level. With veteran running backs nearing the end of their tenure, Bonner is expected to compete for significant playing time early in his Washington career.
