How can you not root for Michael Penix? 🔥

Michael Penix Jr. transferred to the University of Washington in late 2021 after injury-plagued seasons at Indiana and quickly transformed into one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football. 

In 2022, the left-handed signal-caller led the FBS in passing yards per game while setting the Huskies’ single-season record for passing yards, guiding the team to an 11-2 record and earning AP Comeback Player of the Year honors. 

His senior season in 2023 was even more spectacular, as he threw for a nation-leading 4,903 yards and 36 touchdowns with elite efficiency, winning the Maxwell Award as the country’s top player, finishing second in Heisman Trophy voting, and captaining Washington to a perfect 13-0 regular season, a College Football Playoff semifinal victory over Texas, and an appearance in the national championship game. 

Penix’s deep-ball accuracy, poise under pressure, and leadership left an indelible mark on the program, cementing him as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Washington Huskies history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
