Looked like Baker lined up in the backfield, then in the slot. Interesting. He did some brief ball-control drill work early, too.

Chris Petersen met with media today for first time since Day 1 of spring. A few notes ...

Dexter Charles has been leaving practice early to attend class. "Some guys are close to graduating, so they’ve got to get some class done."

Petersen said Budda Baker "will definitely be factored into our return game," and that "he’s a dynamic guy on both sides of the ball."

DB coach Jimmy Lake pleased with Huskies' two new strong safeties, Ezekiel Turner and JoJo McIntosh. "They are a presence to be dealt with."

JoJo McIntosh had two of the defense's four interceptions today in a dominate practice for the UW defense.

Chris Petersen on the QB competition: "I would say that there’s progress being made. That we definitely see."
