2018 Season Preview:
Washington entered the 2017 season with high expectations. Many experts giving them a chance to compete for a BCS bowl. Unfortunately, we didn't quite reach that level with a 9-6-1 record.
Part of the issue was coaching as the Huskies defied preseason numbers and started the year with QB Ronald Tiffany, who, while having decent passing stats, proved unable to handle D1 pressure as a starter. So
Joseph London stepped in at the midway point.
Myles Gaskin was touted as a Heisman hopeful as a true Freshmen, but in spite of 1500 yds rushing and 48/320 receiving, was fairly under the radar due to a lack of big plays. He only managed 7 total td with all that.
RS senior
Brandon Rosati became the vulture and scored 14 total td. The HS quarterback showed a nose for the endzone and will fill the same role this year.
JC Transfer, Sophomore
Richard Bonner is terrific once the ball is in his hands and will add quality depth.
New Freshman OL
Kevin Fralick came into camp and did a great job. Learning from All American LG David Worrell, Fralick managed to add +6 to his potential and will add depth to an already decent OL.
Another true Freshmen that will play a big role is DL
Steve Entmen. Entmen was not a blue chip prospect, but we needed to add a big body up front. Hopefully, he will keep last year's starting RDE Sergio Cooper fresh. Cooper had a solid 82 hurries, but only got home 7 times.
The big surprise of the camp was
Budda Baker. Baker came in with a chance to compete for time right away, but with a +6 growth, we may be shifting some players around to make room for Baker. At a minimum, we will give Baker playing time at both FS and SS, along with CB. As he has shown he can develop 100 skills both in man and zone.
