12 Washington football players were selected to preseason All-Pac-12 teams.

The Pac-12 released its preseason All-Pac-12 teams ahead of its media day on July 21 in Las Vegas. Michael Penix Jr. and Edefuan Ulofoshio will be there to represent the Huskies.

Last year only two Huskies were named to the All-Pac-12 first and second teams: Offensive lineman Jaxson Kirkland (first team) and edge rusher Zion Tupuola- Fetui (second team). Wide receiver Jalen McMillan, linebackers Edefuan Ulofoshion and Carson Bruener, and wider receiver/special teams Giles Jackson were honorable mentions.

Honorable mentions:

  • OL Roger Rosengarten
  • LB Edefuan Ulofoshio
  • LB Alphonzo Tuputala
  • DB Asa Turner
  • LS Jaden Green

This is an impressive number of Washington football players selected to the preseason All-Pac-12 teams. Comparing this year to the previous year’s selections reveals a significant improvement in the representation of Husky players. This recognition shows the strength and talent present within the team. Thank you, Kalen DeBoer.

On one note, Odunze, Trice, and Fautanu were rightfully recognized as first-team talents but McMillan should have been granted a spot on the first-team offense as well.

Next. Dillon Johnson is a game-changer for Washington football’s offense. dark

As the football season unfolds, it will be fascinating to see how these standout players perform and whether the predictions made during the preseason All-Pac-12 selections align with their actual performances. This season is going to be an exciting one for the Huskies.
