OFFENSE:
Sean Mcgrew is by far my guy for offense this year. I think he gets playing time this year. I would guess they start him lout like they did Gaskin last season. Let him get his feet wet by using him sparingly early in the season. See how he handles the leap from High school to college ball. The good news is we get 4 easy non conference games to let him get adjusted and to figure out how to fit him and Gaskin into the offense together. I am very excited to see how he pans out. Hopefully he can builk up like Gaskin and stave off injury.
DEFENSE:
This was much tougher. 2016 was a great class defensively for Washington. Ultimately I decided to go with the Texan. Levi Onwuzurike. If you look at his HUDL tape the kid just straight murders people. He is a great fit for the #Deathrow Defense. He played in one of the highest cailber leagues in Texas and practiced against the #1 Offensive tackle in last years class Gregory Little. When you watch his tape you see that he looked quicker and more explosive off the ball as a junior. He still straight wrecked kids in his senior tape but did not look as fast. Come to find out he was dealing with a foot injury his senior year and played through the pain. Another BIG reason that I like Levi is thet he KNEW he wanted to come play for Pete and Pete and be a Husky. He could have went to Michigan or Baylor and many other places but he isnt a kid that goes for tree climbing sleepovers over the top hype. He is a solid level headed kid that values substance over hype. If you have not seen it here is his Hudl tape.

WALK-ONS
This years quality of walk ons is truly amazing. I really like Ryan Bowman but I had to settle on Myles Bryant. This kid could have committed to UW and UCLA early on in the recruiting cycle. Unfortunately for him he and David Long initially started out wanting to play together in college. As David drug out his recruitment it kind of left Myles hanging. This kid is a physical DB and is very athletic. His big knock is that he is only 5'8" tall. If he was a couple inches taller he would have been as heavily recruited as David Long and Byron Murphy. I look for him to redshirt this year then start on special teams and eventually work his way into the starting rotation as a junior. There is a good chance he sees time playing wide receiver as well and that could be as early as his redshirt freshman season if he and the coaches decide to go that route.
Brandon Wellington on Defense
Ryan Bowman as the walk-on.... feel like he's going to contribute somehow
Defense: Rapp. I think most of the others redshirt. Rapp is physically ready right now.
Walk-on: Who?
KENTRELL LOVE IS...

...mostly because @CokeGreaterThanPepsi took Rapp a while ago.
Levi Onwuzurike on D. He dominated in one of the most competitive high school leagues in the country, and won DPOY for that league, all while playing of a stress fracture in his heel all season. He'll be a monster in a couple of years.
If we don't institute this policy swiftly and fiercely, this place will start to be like one of those radio contests where you can win a chance to jam with AC/DC by answering Bon Scott trivia.
I swear both these guys got here because dawgman/dawgbored/roof wanted to send there most special retard to the pageant. It's like they are both trying to win the C-league championship to take over the 'poasters too good for dawgman, but only barely' title from @TTJ.
Defense: Love
Defense: Nick Harris
Their parents have read these boreds and so they will be working harder than ever.
Since I'm a big fan of quality OL play, I'll go with Twattenburg ...
And while I love the film for both Rapp and Love, I'm going to follow closely Levi so that I can continue to hold DFW Superiority Guy and the importance of having a DFW presence in recruiting over @Dennis_DeYoung
