The Washington Huskies men's basketball team, under coach Danny Sprinkle, has welcomed former Gonzaga guard Steele Venters as their second transfer addition for the 2026-27 season. Venters, a 6-foot-7 player from Ellensburg, Washington, previously played for Eastern Washington University, where he earned First Team All-Big Sky honors during his sophomore year, averaging 15.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. After a couple of injury-plagued seasons, he played 27 games for Gonzaga, starting 10 and contributing 6 points per game as a sixth man. His addition, along with ex-Davidson guard Parker Friedrichsen, provides the Huskies with experienced backcourt options, especially as they look to rebuild after losing key players like Zoom Diallo, who transferred to Kentucky. With the roster still having eight potential scholarship spots available, the Huskies are poised to make further additions as they prepare for the next season.
