Football Dots

• Dawgman reached #1 on its profiles of the top 25 prospects in the state of Washington. Beastly Foster Sarell is no surprise claiming the top spot; he's a five-star recruit who is #5 on the Scout 300. A future Husky TE claims the #2 ranking and another player on the Huskies' radar came in at #3.


• Count Chris Petersen among the folks who are impressed with new A.D. Jen Cohen. He tells Dawgman Radio why.


• Another day, another story where Petersen says hype doesn't win any football games.


• Scout talks to Roseville, Ca. TE and Husky target Jimmy Jaggers about his recruitment.


• ESPN's college football roundtable names a breakout player for each of the Power 5 conferences. Their pick for the Pac-12 is a Dawg.


• Subscribers to Dawgman can read about some of UW's top recruiting targets including San Clemente, Ca. QB Jack Sears. You don't have to be a subscriber to watch Sears's highlight video.


• The honors keep rolling in for former UW corner back Marcus Peters. Adding to Pro Bowl and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, Peters makes the NFL's Top 100 players list at #65.


• Kevin Gemmell of ESPN looks at potential 1,000 yard receivers in the conference. UW is one of many schools in the "we'll see" category, noting that UW hasn't had one since Jermaine Kearse recorded 1,005 yards in 2010.


• The Pac-12 is finally doing something about late kickoff times. It should reduce the number of 7:30-type games.

Don't quit your fall job.:
