Football Dots
- Sporting News ranked their top-25 QBs for next season where a quartet of Pac-12 gunslingers made the top-14 including our own Jake Browning.
- They also looked at the top-25 RBs where Myles Gaskin was one of 5 Pac-12 runners that made the list.
- Given that they have a top-10 QB and RB from above, it makes sense that the Dawgs also featured prominently in the list of top-10 offensive trios in the country.
- In this ESPN insider article, they compared UW recruit QB Jacob Sirmon to another Washington QB named Jacob...Jacob Eason.
“Both are Washington natives and possess prototypical size and height for pocket passers. They have polished mechanics with a compact delivery and equally impressive velocity and accuracy on their deep balls.”
- Bad news for UW’s other QB recruit for 2018
UW-bound CdA QB Colson Yankoff suffered meniscus injury; a UW surgeon will do surgery Thursday; he could miss 4 weeks or 4 months #nwpreps
