When the Washington Huskies offensive linemen take their weekly quizzes, position coach Scott Huff always find himself taking a second glance.
Not at the answers.
Just the name.
Jesse Sosebee?
“I call him ‘Boomer,’” Huff said. “If someone says Jesse, I am like, ‘Who are you talking about?’”
And folks better get used to either name, because the 6-foot-5, 312-pound junior from Garden Grove, California, became one of the surprise starters coming out of preseason camp.
When Jake Eldrenkamp left his post as the two-year starter at left guard, many figured it would be senior Andrew Kirkland — who has 12 career starts, including five at right guard last season — who would fill that spot this season.
