Washington has had a weird portal season with not a ton of high-impact players leaving via the portal but also not a ton of high-impact coming. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out in the coming season. It's clear Jedd Fisch is still prioritizing the recruiting classes and re-signing his current players.
For the most frustrating losses that fans will hate to see wearing another uniform, it could go in a few directions. Could have players like the Parker twins on here who have spent five seasons in Seattle and never worn another uniform. However, it felt like the biggest sting would be watching former players break out elsewhere. These three fit that bill the best.
1. Adam Mohammed
This one had a weird sting to it because it was like "Why?!" He was projected to step into the starting role without Jonah Coleman. He was also one of the most explosive and best backs on the roster. He easily could have had a big season as a Husky, but instead, he went to Cal? Weird.
2. Raiden Vines-Bright
Had a great true-freshman year and was probably poised to take the reins from Denzel Boston as the true WR1. Then he decided to bounce and truly could have a pretty stellar career in college. He's headed to Arizona State, and it will be strange seeing him wear that yellow.
3. Leroy Bryant
This one makes some sense, as he couldn't quite break through as a Husky. He's been on the roster for three seasons and has mostly been rotational depth, with only six starts under his belt. Maybe he felt going to Stanford would give him that sure starter position. However, he feels like a guy who's always worn purple and gold, and now he's gonna be repping a tree. It will be fascinating to see how he does in his new home.
