Football Recruiting
The prolonged recruiting purgatory was finally lifted on June 1, clearing the way for recruits to make their way to Montlake.
UW is about to embark on the biggest official visit weekend of the Jimmy Lake Era.

Pro Dawg
After a disastrous rookie campaign, Kaleb McGary dramatically improved in his second year in Atlanta. The number of sacks he was responsible for dropped from a league-high 13 to 4, and he only committed one penalty in 2020:
