Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35258631/college-football-top-100-players-2022-caleb-williams-jalen-carter-jalin-hyatt-more17. Michael Penix Jr.
QB, Washington, Junior
Notable 2022 stats: 31 TDs, 4,641 yards
Preseason ranking: NR
Penix Jr. transferred from Indiana to reunite with former offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer, and the result was one of the best seasons by a Pac-12 quarterback since the conference expanded in 2011. A year after the Huskies won just four games, they finished 11-2 -- capped by a win against Texas in the Alamo Bowl -- as Penix Jr. threw for 4,641 yards with 31 touchdown passes. Despite the standout season, he will return to Seattle to run it back in 2023.

LOL. Fuck off.
46. Bo Nix
QB, Oregon, Senior
Notable 2022 stats: 29 pass TDs, 14 rush TDs
Preseason ranking: NR
Nix was a revelation in Eugene, where after three seasons at Auburn he blossomed into one of the best quarterbacks in the country. He led all quarterbacks with 14 rushing touchdowns, ranked No. 2 in raw QBR (86.1), No. 12 in passing yards (3,594) and was sacked just five times. Oregon figures to be a preseason top-10 team in 2023 with Nix opting to return for another season
LB, UCLA, Junior
Notable 2022 stats: 10.5 sacks, 3 FF
Preseason ranking: NR
A transfer from Washington, Latu was one of the surprise players in the Pac-12 this season, leading UCLA with 11 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. His 0.79 sacks per game ranked No. 11 nationally and helped land him first-time All-Pac-12 honors.
Que up the “next big hit could leave him paralyzed or dead.” Chances are still very slim to none just like every other football player.
Latu didn’t go to some shitty school to continue playing, he went to UCLA which is more academically prestigious than UW. UCLA also medically retired Jalen Phillips. He played a year at Miami and was a first round pick by the Dolphins. Latu will play in the NFL and he should be at UW now, teaming with Trice and being a part of a legitimate top 3-5 DL.
Very few that actually played anything at a high level are the ones saying it. The players are aware of the risk. It’s good that the NFL has concussion monitors that sometimes take it out of the players choice because most aren’t coming out and some caution should be shown, but it’s dorky nonsense. Grown men can assess the risks of playing football and make their own choice. Doctors aren’t always right.

Dude was clearly the MVP of College Football this year. 4-8 to 11-2 with a Top 10 final ranking? Did any other program in America have close to the turnaround?
2-10 to 12-2, Cotton Bowl Champs over blue blood USC
Williams won the Heisman
Penix wasn't invited
