UW’s Van Soderberg trying to embrace fresh start as he re-enters Huskies’ kicking competition

Shut down after his two misses at Arizona State last season, Soderberg spent time this winter kicking with former UW All-American Jeff Jaeger.

Van Soderberg was 8 years old when his dad taught him how to kick a football. He soon began to dream of one day kicking for his favorite team, the Washington Huskies, and after a stellar career at Olympia’s Capital High School that dream came to be last fall at Husky Stadium.

Bright and confident, Soderberg has a lot going for him. He has plans. Big plans.

He has the highest grade-point average on the team, at 3.
