Six different tailbacks have carried the ball for the Huskies this season.
Spring and fall camp really are the best times for University of Washington football players to make their big moves for playing time, but Kalen DeBoer's coaching staff encourages these guys to keep pushing as the season plays out.
"I would say that's accurate," Husky offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb confirmed."I think Dillon has cemented himself as the one, for sure. I think that Will is probably the next most, I guess, trusted guy." The 6-foot, 218-pound Johnson, the Mississippi State transfer, is beginning to show high value as a running back after getting bogged down by a troublesome knee injury that he brought with him to Montlake. He comes off a 16-carry, season-high 91 yard, 2-touchdown rushing effort at Arizona, which included a 45-yard run."Dillon the last few games, has come on pretty strong and gotten healthier every week and we feel good about where he's at," Grubb said.
Ngata and Adams each have been the third back for the Huskies but continue to move in and out of that role. To stay on the field more, it is presumed they need to block and understand the playbook better. In the UW's pass-minded offense, it's imperative the running back has pass-protection skills to keep opponents away from quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
