When Desert Edge High School wide receiver Zerek Sidney committed to the Washington Huskies in January, the Arizona product chose Jedd Fisch's program over Arizona State, Oklahoma, and USC as one of the most sought-after players in the West.
However, after pledging to the Huskies as a four-star prospect, Sidney has seen his stock fall throughout the offseason. The 6-foot, 175-pound prospect currently sits as the nation's No. 724 overall recruit and No. 84 wide receiver in the 2027 class, according to the 247Sports Composite, and has become the lowest-ranked of Washington's four commits at the position after injuries shortened his junior season to just one game.
Despite that, Sidney has still been one of the most important members of Fisch's recruiting class both on and off the field.
On the field, Sidney is the ideal fit for the slot role in Fisch's offense, although he also has the ideal speed and athleticism to play on the outside in the Z position, as fellow Arizona native Dezmen Roebuck did in 2025 when he earned Freshman All-America honors.
"Skilled wide receiver with a well-rounded game that should offer some inside-outside versatility with his tempo and hands," 247Sports' Andrew Ivins wrote in his evaluation.
