Huskies' Injury Heroes Aim for Comeback | Washington Huskies Football News

Four Washington Huskies are in the running for the 2026 Comeback Player of the Year Award after missing major chunks—or entire seasons—due to injuries. Wide receiver Rashid Williams, tight ends Kade Eldridge and Charlie Crowell, and running back Trey Cooley all suffered setbacks last year: Williams broke his collarbone and had a mysterious hand injury, Eldridge’s season ended with a foot injury, Crowell missed two full seasons with knee issues, and Cooley sat out entirely after fall camp. Their resilience is inspiring, especially as Michael Penix Jr., last year’s winner, led the Huskies to a championship game. This season, they’re poised to make their mark—and prove that adversity doesn’t define them. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
