Why did Myles Gaskin return to UW? To prove a point

Myles Gaskin made the decision to return to the University of Washington, a surprising choice to many but one that feels completely logical when you hear the senior running back explain it.

"First off, I want to graduate -- I didn't go to school this long for no reason," Gaskin said, smiling, after the Huskies concluded their first spring practice Wednesday morning."

The Lynnwood native and O'dea High product will finish his off-field career at UW with a degree in American ethnic studies. He'll finish his on-field career as one of most prolific runners in school history.
