Washington football’s defense is going through some growing pains early in the season, after replacing nine starters from the 2018 season. Coming into 2019, the Huskies are coming off the heels of their best two recruiting classes ever, (with the 2020 class waiting to top them both) and talent is winning out on the football field.
Trent McDuffie has dominated during his time on the field with the Huskies, and has beaten out some very good competition to get on the field. When I originally wrote my true freshman All-American piece, I excluded McDuffie for one reason (and I’ll gladly eat crow for that), getting on the field was the biggest question mark because of all the talent in front of him.
