Less than three weeks out from early signing day, Washington and coach Jedd Fisch have added another player to their 2025 recruiting class.
Quaid Carr, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound running back from Anaheim, Calif., announced he will flip his commitment from San Diego State to Washington in a post on his social media. He’s the second running back to pledge to join UW during this recruiting cycle.
He’s a three-star running back according to 247Sports composite rankings, and is considered the No. 98 running back and the No. 98 player in California. However, 247Sports rates Carr higher, as the No. 81 player in the state and No. 68 player at his position.
Carr, who plays at Servite High School in Southern California, also held offers from Colorado State, Nevada and Utah. He’d been committed to San Diego State since May 11.
As a junior at Servite, Carr had 1,201 yards and 17 touchdowns to go along with 27 catches for 233 yards.
Washington loses two running backs — sixth-year senior Cameron Davis and fifth-year senior Daniyel Ngata — following the 2024 season.
Leading rusher Jonah Coleman has one more year of eligibility, but is eligible for the NFL draft. Fisch previously said he expects Coleman to return for a final season. Junior Sam Adams II, a former Eastside Catholic High School standout, also has one year remaining.
Adam Mohammed, who’s already burned his redshirt this season, and former blue-chip recruit Jordan Washington, who appeared in his first games against Penn State on Nov. 9, round out the rest of running backs coach Scottie Graham’s current position group.
Washington has held a commitment from 2025 three-star running back Julian McMahan from Monte Vista High School in Northern California since March 26. And Graham got an early start on his 2026 class, too, after receiving a pledge from Lake Oswego, Ore. native and composite four-star recruit Ansu Sanoe.
Carr, a multisport athlete who also runs track, has a different physical profile than most of the other running backs on UW’s roster. Carr, Coleman and Washington are the only running backs on the roster listed shorter than 6-feet tall. Carr and Washington are also the only running backs listed lighter than 195 pounds.
It’s notable that Washington has redshirted this season, while the 6-foot, 212-pound Mohamed played immediately.
But Carr, whose personal best in the 100-meter dash was 10.74 seconds as a junior, may offer some extra speed that can be utilized once he adds more weight.
