Football Dots:
- Draft season continues with a number of our departing seniors participating in the Senior Bowl. Levi Onwuzurike and Keith Taylor showed out all week during practices, but with a Levi sitting out the game with an injury, Taylor stepped up on Saturday.

- Various outlets had a range of views on Taylor’s performance, but both former Huskies played themselves onto the draft radar of a number of teams.
