Notes:
A three-year starter for the Huskies --- Named 2nd Team All-Pac-10 in 2010 and 1st Team All-Pac-12 in 2011 --- Was chosen as Washington's Offensive MVP in 2009, 2010 and 2011 --- The second-leading rusher in Husky history, just 57 yards behind Napoleon Kaufman, and name is all over the programs record books --- Only five fumbles during college career, equating to just one for every 175+ touches --- Graduated with degree in American ethnic studies --- A meat and potatoes workhorse who isn't flashy but runs North / South and can be an effective, albeit probably unspectacular, starter at next level if given the opportunity.
