Among the list of high-profile recruits attending Washington’s Junior Day is another top-100 player. Deshonne Redeaux will be on Montake this weekend for the school’s recruiting event. Redeaux is a four-star recruit across all major recruiting sites and rated as the number five running back in the nation according to 247Sports. He’s a California native and attends Oaks Christian High School where he’s regarded as a top 15 player in the state. Redeaux narrowed his college search to six programs at the end of February. It includes Georgia, Oregon, Michigan, UCLA, USC, and Washington. This is our third piece in a series covering Washington’s Junior Day.
Deshonne Redeaux Visits Washington Junior Day
As a junior at Oaks Christian last Fall, Redeaux had his best season yet. He notched 17 rushing touchdowns with 1,263 yards on the ground and seven yards per carry. Redeaux eclipsed the 100-yard mark in seven of his ten games played that season, averaging 126 yards per contest. Redeaux is an accomplished sprinter as well. His personal best 100-meter dash is 10.42 seconds, and he’s clocked a 21.32 second 200-meter dash.
His speed makes him a weapon on the football field. Redeaux’s tape shows a player who can be shifty at the point of attack and maneuver himself through small gaps at the line. Once he sees a crease, his acceleration to the next level is instant. The California running back routinely outruns second level defenders and finds himself in open space. Redeaux is listed at 5’-11” and 195 pounds.
Redeaux visited UCLA, USC, and Oregon earlier this calendar year. His trip to the Pacific Northwest is an opportunity for the Husky staff to connect with the running back for the third time this year. The Washington staff visited Redeaux twice during the January contact period. In a social media post, Redeaux shared that offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty and running backs coach Scottie Graham were in town. Later that month, nearly the entire Washington coaching staff paid him a visit. Redeaux is a priority target for the Huskies in the class of 2026. They’ll continue to make their case to the four-star this weekend.
