A few weeks ago Washington officially signed quarterback recruit Sam Huard. He instantly became the highest rated UW quarterback commitment since the start of the modern recruiting era and the 4th highest overall in the 247/Scout database (12th overall in the class of 2021). Add on top of all of that he’s both local and a legacy. Let’s just say that expectations are high.
With the exodus from the quarterback room at the end of the 2020 season it has opened a path Moses parting the Red Sea style to challenging for the starting gig. Returning starter Dylan Morris was good in the small 4-game season for Washington but he didn’t put enough of a stamp on the job to make it a sure thing he beats out Huard next fall.
