Huskies Find Two Colman-Brusa Brothers Are Better Than One

Following Friday night's University of Washington spring football game, one could have put money on Derek Colman-Brusa committing to the Huskies right then and there.

A couple of hours following the two-hour competition, in a near empty parking lot, Colman-Brusa and his family members, including his brother Lowen, an incoming Husky freshman, gathered outside Husky Stadium and took photos, tossed a football and genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves long into the night.

It was hard to imagine the 4-star defensive lineman not totally enamored with the Montlake setting at that moment. As it turns out, he was.

On Sunday night, the 6-foot-5, 267-pound Brusa from suburban Seattle's Kennedy Catholic High School -- wanted by schools such as Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Tennessee and USC -- committed to the Huskies, enhancing an already promising recruiting class.

The UW landed the No. 1 player in the state for 2026.
