Titus Osterman, a versatile athlete out of Kimberly, Idaho, has officially committed to Washington after an unofficial visit to Seattle this past weekend. The moment came during a meeting with new head coach Jedd Fisch, and it was clear the Huskies’ staff had a strong sense this was coming.
“Coach Odom and I had been talking about it, and I’m pretty sure he had a good feeling I was going to commit,” Osterman said. “But the commitment actually happened when me and my parents were in Coach Fisch’s office.”
The reaction? Pure excitement.
Fisch was all smiles, and when Osterman stepped out of the office, the rest of the coaching staff was waiting to offer their congratulations. It wasn’t a surprise, but it was definitely a moment. This wasn’t just about locking down another name in the 2026 class-it was about securing a player who already feels like a fit in the program’s evolving identity under Fisch.
For Osterman, the decision was personal and rooted in loyalty. Washington was the first school to extend him an offer, and that early belief clearly meant something.
“They were the first school to give me a chance and offer me,” he said. “They believed in me from the beginning, and the opportunities at Washington are exactly what I was looking for.”
That early offer-and the consistent communication that followed-helped build a foundation of trust between Osterman and the Huskies’ staff. And while Fisch is still settling into his role in Seattle, he’s already making an impression with recruits like Osterman, who see the program as a place where they can grow both on and off the field.
Osterman’s commitment adds another layer to Washington’s recruiting momentum. He’s a dynamic athlete with the kind of positional flexibility that modern college football thrives on. Whether he ends up on offense, defense, or special teams, his athleticism and football IQ give the Huskies options-and that’s exactly what this staff is looking for as they reshape the roster.
This commitment might not have grabbed national headlines, but make no mistake: it’s a foundational win for Washington. Osterman is the type of player who buys in early, works hard, and helps set the tone for a recruiting class. And if his visit is any indication, he’s already feeling right at home in purple and gold.
