Washington football’s make it or break it year in 2023

2023 is crucial for the Washington football team as they face the challenge of losing several key players after the season.

This season the Huskies must seize the opportunity to capitalize on their current talent pool before it slips away. With a roster brimming with young promising prospects, 2023 represents their final chance to showcase the significance of talents like Michael Penix Jr., Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, and Bralen Trice before they are lost to the 2024 NFL Draft.

It’s now or never for Washington football

Penix Jr. has been instrumental in leading Washington’s offense with his exceptional skills and leadership. The departures of McMillan and Odunze will further add to the void in the offense as the two have been standouts showcasing their speed, agility, and playmaking abilities.

The loss of both Bralen Trice and Asa Turner will have a significant impact on the Huskies’ defense. Trice, a key defensive player, has been a force to be reckoned with on the field, demonstrating his ability to disrupt opposing offenses. His departure will require the Huskies to find a suitable replacement who can maintain the same level of intensity and effectiveness.

Turner has been a reliable veteran presence in the secondary and his departure will create a crucial necessity for the development of young players to step up and fill his shoes.

With the impending loss of these valuable players, the Huskies must take advantage of 2023 to maximize on their talents and make a statement. This isn’t to say that Washington football will be bad in the next few years but it’s unlikely that they will have as good of a chance at a College Football Playoff berth than now.
