  10/16/20 - Ryan Bowman, rSr/2022, Washington, 6-0, 277 (DS#43 DE) + More +

  In an undeniably young room, Bowman is the elder statesman (and a guaranteed starter). The former UW walk-on produced a quietly prolific 2019 season - stacking up 34 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception in 13 games. And he did it while also shifting inside on passing downs. "I'm just a defensive lineman, honestly," Bowman said, when asked to define his role. "I play any position on the line and always try to make things happen and always try to be explosive wherever I'm at. You can literally put me anywhere."

In a shortened senior season, the Huskies might take him up on that offer. At 280 pounds, Bowman is quick enough to rush the passer and strong enough to stuff the run. And nasty enough to portray the attitude Kwiatkowski wants from his outside linebackers. "The legacy I want to leave is that we're the most physical dudes on the team," Bowman said. "We want to be real hard-nosed, bad, nasty dudes. That's just how we're all going to be in that room. Under Coach K, it's easy to be like that, because that's the mentality that he brings, and we manifest off that energy and all our dudes are like that. "That's the legacy I'd like to leave for the outside backers, and just as a leader, be nasty as hell." - Seattle Times

  10/02/20 - Michael Penix Jr., rSr/2024, Washington, 6-2, 216 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Sheridan said Penix's football IQ has made it a smooth transition so far. "Michael is obviously a very talented player," Sheridan said. "I think one of Michael's biggest strengths as a player is the game is slow for Mike. He makes quick decisions. He's able to see the field. It doesn't take him long to grasp concepts, and I credit his upbringing, the people that have helped him along the way, you know, coaches, trainers, parents. He just always has seen the game very naturally." The new dynamic in the Sheridan-Penix relationship will come with play calling and execution when IU's season starts Oct. 23 or 24 against No. 10 Penn State. As a graduate assistant coach at Tennessee, Sheridan learned the importance of a quarterback understanding intention when an offensive coordinator calls plays.

"It's different in college football than the NFL," Sheridan said. "Like, in the NFL, the head coach gets to tell the quarterback in a Walkie Talkie, throw it to the flat, or throw it away, click. We don't get to do that in college football, so it's important that that communication is at an extremely high level throughout the week, throughout your prep, so that when you call a play the quarterback knows what you are thinking whether it be taking a shot, whether it be get an easy completion or whether it be you know, check the ball (down)." Penix is looking to build upon a season in which he passed for 1,394 yards with 10 TDs and four interceptions in six games. - Herald Bulletin

  10/02/20 - Elijah Molden, Sr/2021, Washington, 5-10, 192 (DS#9 CB) + More +

  Elijah Molden had two fundamental reasons to return for his senior season. Of course, Molden - a 2019 first-team All-Pac-12 performer and Walter Camp first-team preseason All-American - could have just as easily opted out, turning his focus instead to the NFL draft. He could have followed fellow Washington defensive standouts Levi Onwuzurike and Joe Tryon out the door. He could have prioritized a professional future, citing the rampant uncertainty surrounding the sport. Instead, when the Pac-12 announced a seven-game fall football season last week, Molden tweeted, "See ya'll Nov. 6." And local media members actually saw him much sooner. In a Zoom call following his team's second fall practice Tuesday, Molden explained why he chose to remain on Montlake.

"From the very beginning when it was declared that we weren't going to have a season, I think the name of the game was patience. And naturally, I'm not a very patient person," he said. "So that was something that was difficult for me. But right now I think it was a very valuable lesson, just because you don't know what the future's going to look like. I don't want to make an emotional decision, when I want to play football. "Everyone like Levi, Joe - everyone who has opted out - had their own personal reasons, and I've heard from those guys. They have very valid reasons for opting out. But for me, I think I just love the game so much that I wouldn't be able to sit out any longer knowing that I could have played. So that was my motivation for coming back. Especially with a new (head) coach in Coach (Jimmy) Lake, I believe in him entirely and I feel like it's my last year at UW, but it's his first (as head coach). I wanted to start him off on a good note." - Seattle Times

  10/01/20 - Michael Penix Jr., rSr/2024, Washington, 6-2, 216 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Penix has all of the tools to become an elite college quarterback, he just hasn't been able to stay healthy early in his career. The 6-foot-3, 218-pounder was limited to just three games as a true freshman in 2018 and six games in 2019. But in those six games last season, Penix was impressive. He set the program single-season record for completion percentage (68.8) while throwing for 1,394 yards and 10 touchdowns to four interceptions. While the Hoosiers won't draw up many designed runs for Penix, he can still make plays with his feet and is and accurate thrower on the move. He rushed for 118 yards and two scores last season. - Ann Arbor News

  UAB has established itself as one of the top defensive units in the nation over the past few years. The Blazers are coming off back-to-back seasons in which they ranked Top 10 nationally in total defense (9th in 2018 and 8th in 2019). A major key for their success has been the ability to rush the quarterback, compiling 92 combined sacks and 217 TFL in the last two seasons. This year's unit will once again be led by Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year candidates Kris Moll (LB) and Jordan Smith (DE), who combined for 33.5 TFL and 19.0 sacks last season. - Alabama-Birmingham Football
