After their first week wearing a helmet designed to reduce the risk of concussions, UW players have mostly positive reviews — but they're sad to see the all-black and all-white combinations go.

Psalm Wooching has always been, in his words, “a head-banger.” That’s just how he plays football.

Thanks to new helmet technology on the field for the first time, the Huskies senior linebacker has enjoyed a little more peace of mind while banging heads with teammates during fall camp.

During the first practice he wore Vicis’ new helmet, the Zero1, Wooching said he had a helmet-to-helmet collision and noticed a “huge difference” upon impact.
