Juniors Vita Vea and Greg Gains are both prototype NFL DTs, and both are likely NFL bound after this season - The push they give up the middle is key to that solid Husky D.
Should Browning leave early, a long shot at QB for the Huskies next year is Bothell (WA) HS QB sensation Jacob Sirmon, nephew of Duck legend Peter Sirmon - Jacob Sirmon is a sold Husky commit, has been invited to participate in the Under Armour All-America Game, and just may become the second true freshman starting QB for Petersen at Washington - I’m not sure if Sirmon will be a Spring practice arrival.
An immediate problem for Washington is the leg injury to true freshman TE Hunter Bryant, which has him sidelined for a “significant” amount of time - Bryant has really stepped up since WR Chico McClatcher was lost for the season with a broken ankle several weeks ago - Finding solid receiving threats to complement Pettis has been an ongoing struggle for the Dawgs this season.
