  Draft Scout by Conference









  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
