  Unprompted and with deceptive nonchalance, Jimmy Lake dropped a casual bombshell in the first minute of his first news conference after the Huskies' first workout of summer. And in the process, changed everything you thought you knew about Washington's football prospects in 2021. Linebacker Zion Tupuola-Fetui, the pass-rushing wunderkind who burst on the scene like a blazing comet last fall, only to suffer a devastating Achilles tear in April, will play this season for Washington. Or, at least, so insisted Lake.

Lake's declaration wasn't conditional, mind you. He didn't say, "We really hope ZTF will be back" or, "He'll play this year if his rehab continues to go as well as it has been." No, Lake was about as definitive as one can be when assessing an injury that happened less than four months ago and is routinely gauged as having a six- to 10-month recovery time. "He will for sure be seeing the field in 2021," Lake said. Those two words, "for sure," are doing a lot of heavy lifting and piling a ton of expectations on Tupuola-Fetui's eventual return. And also on the Huskies' place in the college football hierarchy. If ZTF's recovery hits any roadblocks or setbacks, it will now be viewed as a huge letdown. But if Lake is right, the Huskies have a chance to make a leap from good to great. The first day of camp is always an optimal day for dreaming. For Husky fans, Lake managed to increase the magnitude of that dream immeasurably. - Seattle Times

  Less than four months after tearing his left Achilles tendon, Zion Tupuola-Fetui wore a jersey and cleats while he watched his teammates practice on Friday, gripping a football and walking without any hint of a limp. When he suffered the non-contact injury during a practice on April 16, the expectation was that Washington's All-American outside linebacker would miss 6-10 months - likely swallowing the entire 2021 season. On Friday, UW head coach Jimmy Lake dramatically reset expectations - declaring that "ZTF" will play in the upcoming regular season. "Zion, who I'm sure you saw out there, is way head of schedule. He will for sure be seeing the field in 2021," Lake said. "It's been exciting watching him. We knew he was going to attack his rehab, and he is way ahead of where our doctors thought he was going to be. So we're excited about that."

When asked for a specific timetable for Tupuola-Fetui's return, Lake smiled and said: "I'll just say, our opponents better be ready for him." Opponents did not appear ready last fall, when the sophomore from Pearl City, Hawaii, exploded for seven sacks and three forced fumbles in just four games - leading the nation with 1.75 sacks per game. And, despite the injury, the 6-foot-4, 260-pound pass-rusher also shed 20 pounds this offseason - landing at what Lake described as a more desirable weight. "I think he's going to be even more explosive," Lake said. "It's also going to limit his injuries, being at that weight. You guys saw that explosion that he had in 2020. It's going to be pretty scary to see even more explosion now with about 18 pounds off of him. "His diet is better. His training is better. He's locked in. He's going to be ready to go. As soon as he's full go, watch out." - Seattle Times

  Washington outside linebacker Zion Tupuola-Fetui, a third-team AP All-American selection last season, will miss the next six to 10 months after tearing his Achilles tendon in practice last week. Washington coach Jimmy Lake said Wednesday that the Huskies are not ruling Tupuola-Fetui out for the entire 2021 season as of yet. Tupuola-Fetui is expected to undergo surgery later this week. Despite playing just three games last fall, Tupuola-Fetui was a revelation in his first season as a starter for the Huskies. He had seven sacks and 13 tackles. He also forced and recovered one fumble. The loss of Tupuola-Fetui is another big blow for Washington's defense heading into the 2021 season. - Seattle Post Intelligencer
