Many good players to choose from but it's Gaines for me. Absolute stud rock on the line for 4 fucking years. Played 54 games. Started 46 or so. Never missed one. Morris Trophy. Straight up bad ass. Played hurt and still started over the others. Unbelievably consistent.
The real reason is when he showed up up he was treated shitty. 3 star, Mountain West guy, not good enough for UW. Still questioned until he flashed every time he hit the field. Then his first start was a 10 tackle ass rape against Utah in a loss. He said "I don't care what you assholes say I'm here to kick ass, fuck off". I liked that attitude!

I think the player that did the most to affect the win/loss column is Gaskin.
The player I most wanted to drive down to Seattle to watch play in person was Azeem, just because he was such an awesome, gigantic, intimidating, shit-talking freak. Plus, by all accounts, really good guy off the field with his charity and whatnot. RIP. They say Bierria was the emotional leader of that defense, and Gaines/Virta Vita/Qualls/etc. were really the engine that made it work, but it was Victor that made Death Row Death Row. He was the dude who made opposing offensive players think, "Fuuuuuck, this is going to be a long day." For two seasons, it was like watching old Husky defense, and Seattle football fans live for defense. They were statistically better in 2017, after Azeem got the AIDS, but they weren't the same defense. It frustrated offenses, but it was no longer feared by them. It was more effective, but simultaneously less fun to watch.
Even in the games in which the offense were tripping over their dicks, Azeem Victor made Husky football must-watch TV in 2015 and most of 2016. It was a fun time to be a Husky fan.

I never agree with you but when I did, it was this. Gainsey 4 Ever
Azeem was easily my favorite in 2015. He made those games watchable until the team improved enough to be decent.
I do agree that our defenses haven’t been as physical the last few years, even tho they were really good before this year. Hard hitters like Azeem are fun to watch.
