  04/09/20 - *Jacob Eason, rJr/2020, Washington, 6-6, 231 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Washington football fans will get to see former Husky quarterback Jacob Eason during this month's NFL Draft. The only question is, when? The 6-foot-6, 227-pound signal caller from Lake Stevens is one of 58 players - and the lone Husky - who will participate virtually in the 2020 NFL Draft, the league announced on Thursday. In his lone season as UW's starter, Eason - a former five-star recruit and Georgia transfer - completed 64% of his passes, throwing for 3,132 yards with 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Husky football fans now know they'll get some added access to Eason when he's selected during the NFL Draft's broadcast. It's yet to be determined, though, whether that will happen on Thursday or Friday. - Seattle Times

  04/08/20 - Michael Penix Jr., rSr/2024, Washington, 6-2, 216 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  After tearing his ACL during his true-freshman season, Penix was named Indiana's starter heading into 2019. But after just six starts in which he displayed tantalizing arm talent, Penix suffered a season-ending injury to his right sternoclavicular joint leading to yet another offseason of recovery. But what his quarterback coaches in Florida saw in a high school version of Penix continues to be his driving force to return from more adversity. "He knows what he wants," C.J. Bennett said. "And he's definitely hungry for some more success." The Stable QB Academy helps train high school recruits to specialize in specific skills needed for the next level. The Bennetts start their search for talent in the Tampa area as young as fifth grade, and The Stable remains a place for college quarterbacks to improve in the offseason.

"Our main job is to prepare them and put them in as many game-like situations, game-like drills," C.J. Bennett said. "Whether it's off-balance stuff, being on time, being comfortable in the pocket, uncomfortable scenarios, our goal is to make the drills and everything we do as game-like as possible. "So when the bullets are flying on Saturdays and things are going crazy, (Penix) has the mechanics and that foundation to always look back on." Penix's work has shown in various aspects, whether that be through his ball flight or just by the eye test. Penix is stronger and making strides toward not just being Indiana's top option at quarterback, but also the team's most consistent option. "Mike Penix has a rocket for an arm," Indiana cornerback Tiawan Mullen said. "Mike is a great leader, he's a great quarterback. He throws much stronger having gained 15, 20 pounds over the spring. So, Mike can do it all. I feel like he is going to take us far this season." - Indianapolis Star/News

  03/30/20 - Elijah Molden, Sr/2021, Washington, 5-10, 192 (DS#9 CB) + More +

  Following a meeting of its CEO Group, the Pac-12 announced Monday that organized team activities, with limited exceptions, are not allowed through May 31 due to the coronavirus pandemic. That puts an end to any possibility of spring football practice, which Oregon State and Oregon had not officially cancelled. Through the end of May, Pac-12 teams are not allowed to have organized team practices, voluntary workouts, film study sessions, meetings or technique drills. Football teams are permitted two hours per week of virtual group activities, including film study. Other sports are allowed four hours. The Pac-12 says it is appealing to the NCAA to increase the two-hour time limit for football. Coaches are allowed to provide self-directed workout plans and demonstration videos, but they cannot watch or supervise. - The Oregonian

  03/21/20 - Michael Penix Jr., rSr/2024, Washington, 6-2, 216 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Indiana redshirt sophomore quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was ready for an important spring, one that would continue to establish him as the unquestioned leader of IU's offense. The goal for Penix when IU football resumes will be to show he can last a full season. That's why he put on more than 15 pounds of muscle on his 6-foot-3 frame. At 218 pounds, Penix feels more confident handling the hits that come in playing a full Big Ten conference season. Last season, Penix played at between 200 and 205 pounds. "We talked about 220, so I hit that pretty quick," Penix said. "But just wherever is comfortable and whatever is going to help the team, and as long as I still feel like I can move, I feel good." Last year at this time, Penix was recovering from a torn ACL and was part of a three-way quarterback competition with incumbent starter Peyton Ramsey and Utah transfer Jack Tuttle. Penix won the quarterback competition out of fall camp and in six starts last season showed he was more than capable of sparking the offense.

Twice last season, Penix was named Big Ten freshman of the week, when he passed for 326 yards in IU's season opener at Ball State and when he completed 20 straight passes and passed for 286 yards at Michigan State. Overall, Penix completed 110 of 160 attempts for 1,394 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions, while adding 118 yards rushing on 5.4 yards per carry and two rushing TDs. The 68.8 percent completion mark set an IU record and ranked sixth in Big Ten history. But Penix dealt with various injuries during the course of the season that was cut short Nov. 2 when he suffered a broken joint in his collarbone against Northwestern. - Herald Bulletin

  Indiana offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan has noticed improved leadership traits with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. this offseason. "He's a little bit more vocal," Sheridan said. "I think he's just more comfortable. You see his personality come out a little bit more in all phases. He's able to crack jokes with the guys and cut it up that way, so I think you just see who he truly is will come out a little more as he becomes more comfortable. The guys respect him, so it's been a positive." - Herald Bulletin

  Sophomore quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said he's maintained his weight at 220 pounds while rehabbing a season-ending injury last November to repair a broken joint in his collarbone. He began throwing in mid-January and is full go for spring drills. "It was a quick process," Penix said. "It wasn't bad. I knew how bad I wanted to play, and I knew how bad I just wanted to be in this position. I never blinked, like Coach Allen said. I never blinked at all, and I was always focused on getting back and making sure that I could do whatever I can to make sure I don't have to go through that again." - Herald Bulletin

  Oklahoma defensive back Brendan Radley-Hiles was ejected from Saturday's Peach Bowl for a brutal hit on LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. With Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow scrambling toward the sideline, Radley-Hiles delivered the blindside shot to Edwards-Helaire coming out of the backfield. The officials did not throw a flag on the play, but a video review showed that Radley-Hiles leaped into a defenseless player with a shoulder to the helmet. Radley-Hiles was escorted to the locker room. Three plays later, Burrow threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jefferson that extended LSU's lead to 28-7. - AP College Football

  12/26/19 - *Jacob Eason, rJr/2020, Washington, 6-6, 231 (DS#5 QB) + More +

  Washington quarterback Jacob Eason announced Thursday he will skip his final year of college and enter the NFL draft. Eason started 13 games for Washington last season after beginning his college career at Georgia and transferring following his sophomore season. He threw for 3,132 yards and 23 touchdowns for the Huskies in a season where at times he looked like a sure first-round pick and at other times it appeared that another season of college would help his draft status. "I want to thank everyone at the UW - my teammates, the coaching staff and the fans - for making these last two years so memorable," Eason said in a statement. "I'm very happy that I was able to come home and play for the Dawgs, and will always be grateful."

Eason was a five-star recruit out of nearby Lake Stevens, Washington, who opted to go across the country to play at Georgia. He started as a freshman for the Bulldogs but lost the job to Jake Fromm during his sophomore season after suffering an injury in the season opener. Eason sat out the 2018 season after transferring to Washington and beat out Jake Haener for the starting job during fall camp in August. Eason completed 64.2% of his passes and had standout games early in the season against Eastern Washington, BYU and Arizona. His best game may have come in a loss to Oregon, in which Eason was 23 of 30 for 289 yards and three touchdowns. - AP College Football
