According to Washington football head coach Jimmy Lake, fans can expect defensive impact player Zion Tupuola-Fetui back this Fall.

‘ZTF’, as Tupuola-Fetui is commonly referred to as, tore his Achilles on a non-contact play during spring practice. Initial reports said he could expect to be out for 6-10 months but Zion is already looking like he’s going to beat that timeline.
