Washington Huskies: 5 summer camp position battles to watch
#2 Running back
The Washington Huskies have quite the depth at this spot. The NCAA allowed seniors from last year to return because of covid. No matter how many games were played. So, the two seniors on last year’s squad Kamari Pleasant and Sean McGrew return. Either can start as Pleasant started the first game. While McGrew started a couple as well.
Junior Richard Newton, a fan favorite, will see time as well. Another sophomore, Cameron Davis, came out of spring as second on the depth chart behind Pleasant. However, in the spring he can make it difficult on McGrew, Newton, and Pleasant. Whoever becomes the starter the Huskies have plenty to work with at running back.
#3 Wide receiver
Senior Terrell Bynum is the only returning starter playing in the slot. Graduate student Ty Jones decided to transfer to Fresno State. Where he will receive passes from former Husky Jake Haener. Junior Puka Nacua, who the Huskies were expecting big things from, decided to go back home to Utah. Going to BYU. A selling point was his older brother, Samson, deciding to go to BYU as well as a graduate student. They will be a formidable pair.

Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan are coming in as starters at the other two wide receiver spots. They both got some valuable time late last season. Due to Bynum being hurt in the third game of the season and missed the last game. The two redshirt freshmen will have a fight on their hands to keep those two spots to themselves. As transfers, sophomore Ja’Lynn Polk comes in from Texas Tech and junior Giles Jackson from Michigan. Jackson didn’t come on campus until June so he wasn’t here for spring camp so see how he gets up to speed.
