Enokk Vimahi will play his final college football season at Washington.
According to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, the former Ohio State offensive lineman committed to head coach Jedd Fisch and the Huskies on Monday. Vimahi entered the transfer portal on Tuesday around 12 hours before the second transfer window closed.

Vimahi entered the portal after five seasons with the Buckeyes in which he appeared in 35 games and made two starts, including the team's 2022 loss to Michigan and its 2023 Cotton Bowl loss to Missouri.
A four-star prospect out of Kahuku, Hawaii, Vimahi was the No. 5 offensive guard and No. 119 overall prospect in the 2019 class, according to the 247Sports composite. He chose Ohio State over Washington and several other schools out of high school.
At Washington, Vimahi will join an offensive line room without an established depth chart. As it stands, redshirt freshman Soane Faasolo (LT), redshirt freshman Kahlee Tafai (LG), sophomore Landen Hatchett (C), redshirt junior Gaard Memmelaar (RG) and redshirt sophomore Drew Azzopardi (RT) are the frontrunners to start at the five offensive line positions. Given Vimahi's experience, the 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman will be in line to compete for one of those spots this summer and in preseason camp.
