He s a 5-star quarterback, the first of his kind to pull on a purple and gold uniform.
He s the son and nephew of former UW and NFL quarterbacks Damon and Brock Huard, the first second-generation Husky player to call a huddle.
Oh yeah, he s left-handed, too.
While the player ratings and family bloodlines are things that easily can be set aside as distractions, the dexterity issue will always be there with him.

The University of Washington is furiously working that Arizona defensive-back connection once more, showing up in the top 10 choices for Benjamin Morrison, a 4-star cornerback from Phoenix.
