After a winless season in 2008, the Washington Huskies fans needed some good news before any of them were going to be able to pull on a purple and gold Huskies jersey and cheer for the dogs. Ask and the fans shall receive, hometown golden boy Jake Locker the standout quarterback that was sidelined last season after arm surgery is back and seems to be better than ever.
In his freshman season, Jake Locker was praised as one of the best throwing arms in the Pacific Ten Conference, he was named Pac-10 freshman of the year 2007 and was a Rivals.com Freshman All-American. He completed his first season on the Washington Huskies roster with 3,048 yards of total offense and what looked to be the start of a great career. Then he was injured and had to miss almost all of the 2008 season, and many fans held their breath in fear he would not return in order to protect his arm for his budding baseball career.
Huskies fans can let their breath out, not only will Jake Locker be returning to the Huskies football roster, the Los Angeles Angels selected the superstar in the 10th round of the MLB draft. One observer reported that in preseason spring ball, not only did Jake Locker look good he was also passing with more accuracy than he did freshman year. So although most Huskies fans got rid of anything that tied them to U-Dub, maybe it is time to dig out the purple and gold and get back in the cheer section for the UW Huskies because with Jake back anything is possible!
