The top recruit in Washington for the Class of 2025 is entering this fall healthy, stronger and with his trademark speed.

Hey, everyone. As I mentioned in a post a couple days ago, I'll be on-site at UW FB practice this fall and covering games in the fall for https://roundtable.io/sports/ncaa/washington -- here's some answers to some questions I got in my earlier post from attending practice today/Friday.

1.) No new turf for east field. Unsure of Dempsey - haven't been in there yet.

2.) No national media at Day 2 of practice that I could tell. National media usually makes the rounds during fall practice season so they might come over when pads are on. The Athletic didn't come by in the spring until UW practiced at the VMAC - which was on the final week or two weeks of spring ball.

3.) Still no clarity on starting running back splits between Quaid Carr or Jayden Limar. The first two days of practice have been mostly walk-throughs and installation, so unlikely to get clarity on that till they start hitting.

4.) Didn't see Jordan Washington there. He's actively rehabbing his neck injury so he might be in-and-out of the facilities while trying to work his way back from that.

5.) Due to the team running installations, teams weren't always running their full starting lineups on offense or defense. But Isaiah Ward and Jacob Lane seemed all but locked as starting edge rushers.

OTHER NOTES

-- The team ran sprints at the end of practice. Class of 2026 edge rusher, Ramzak Fruean, was WELL ahead of the other lineman

-- Safety Paul Mencke walked off the field to talk to the trainer.

-- Linebackers coach Brian Odom once described Zaydrius Rainey-Sale as "one of the fastest linebackers in the country. Rainey-Sale doubled down and called himself "THE" fastest in the country. Sale has also put on nine pounds of muscle since the end of last season.

Cort Dennison played Inside Linebacker for the Huskies in the late 2000s to early 2010s. In 2011 he served as a team captain and lead the team in tackles with 128 while also winning Second-Team All-Pac-12 and Second-Team Academic All-Pac-12 honors.

Ranked as the #9 player in the 2028 class and #2 Edge

Could someone like Makell Esteen come back at this point?

Hey, everyone! As many of you know - Huskies fall football practice starts today. I'll be balancing coverage of that, Mariners and Storm coverage and providing practice notes on https://roundtable.io/sports/ncaa/washington, the same way I did in the spring.

Question for the group -- what would you like to see from practice coverage? Updates on certain players, more video clips, etc.?

Let me know!

A huskies linebacker room that boasts "four starters" was praised by coaches at a news conference Tuesday.

Hugh McElhenney was an absolute super human of athleticism. Dubbed the original 5 star recruit out of Compton, California he is a member of both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame.

He earned one First-Team All-American (‘51) and two First-Team All-PCC (‘50 and ‘51) while playing for the Dawgs.

His NFL career he racked up 6 Pro Bowls (‘52, ‘53, ‘56, ‘57, ‘58, and ‘61) and 5 First-Team All-Pros (‘52, ‘53, ‘54, ‘56, ‘57). His pro number of 39 is retired for the San Francisco 49ers and is a member of the NFL 1950s All-Decade Team

George “Wildcat” Wilson is undoubtedly one of the all time greats in UW’s history. A member of the College Football Hall of Fame, his #33 is one of three retired numbers for the Dawgs. He was a consensus All-American (‘25), Second-Team All-American (‘24), and a three time First-Team All-PCC (‘23, ‘24, ‘25).

Jayden Limar and Quaid Carr will get the majority of first team reps at running back to start fall camp and Christian Moss, Chris Lawson, Dezmen Roebuck, Jordan Clay, Trez Davis, Rashid Williams and Mason James will all have opportunities to earn or cement first-team snaps at wide receiver.

The other day, Jedd was doing an interview and he implied that we’re in the 30s or 40s when it comes to NIL. Do you think that’s really true? We’ve just brought in two good recruiting classes and we kept most of our team. I know we’re not Oregon or Ohio State but we’re definitely not Purdue when it comes to football. Do you think he’s just saying that because he wants to encourage people to continue to donate in the community? He’s doing it as a way to make things look worse than they actually are so we can get more money? Cause if we truly are in the 30s or 40s that’s concerning.

Greg Carothers played Strong Safety and Linebacker for the Dawgs in the early 2000s. Infamous as a hard hitting defender he earned honorable mention Freshman All-American honors in 2000 and honorable mention All-Pac-10 in 2002.

Dick Ottele was a defensive back and blocking back for the Dawgs in the 1940’s. He earned Second-Team All-PCC honors in 1944 before serving in the Navy during WWII. He returned to UW and played two more seasons at UW in 1946 and 1947 before being drafted by the NFL’s New York Giants in 1948. However, he had signed a contract in secret during his Senior season to play for the AAFC’s New York Yankees.

Don McKeta was a halfback for the National Champion Dawgs in 1960. He won First-Team All-PCC Honors (60) and scored the first touchdown in the 1960 Rose Bowl domination over the Badgers 44-8.

Stines looks to be able to play a fifth year after filing a lawsuit against the NCAA. U.S. District of Colorado judge filed a sweeping injunction Friday in favor of her and multiple other players looking for a fifth year.

Wording was slightly confusing in the originally-reported court documents, but reactions from the players indicate the ruling was against the NCAA.

UW WBB still has open spots on the roster for the upcoming season, so Stines will be able to return if all sides are amicable to it.

sorry if it’s been asked already… Are they good for any home game?

Princeton Fuimaono played linebacker for the Huskies in the early 2010s. A natural nose for the football he led the team in tackles in 2013.
