Freshmen Stepping Up for Huskies | Washington Huskies Football News

The University of Washington’s football team is turning rookie season into a full-blown freshman showcase—thanks to injuries forcing young players into critical roles. In a gritty 16-14 win over Utah State, freshmen dominated the stat sheet: running back Brian Bonner Jr. got his first start, Ansu Sanoe scored the only TD, and receivers Jordan Clay and Trez Davis combined for eight catches. Coach Jedd Fisch even risked it all by inserting freshman QB Derek Zammit in a Wildcat play for a crucial first down. Defense? Three freshmen starters and others stepping up—including Jeron Jones at cornerback. Ten rookies saw action, four started. This isn’t just a transition—it’s a survival-of-the-fittest moment where the Huskies’ future is being written right now on the field.
