The University of Washington football team is off to a great start in the 2021 season, and much of that success can be attributed to the return of two key players: Michael Penix Jr. and Jalen McMillan.
Penix Jr. is a junior quarterback who has been with the Huskies since 2019. He had an impressive freshman season, but was sidelined for the majority of 2020 due to an ACL injury. After a long rehabilitation process, Penix Jr. is back and better than ever. He has already thrown for over 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns in just four games this season, and is showing no signs of slowing down.
McMillan is a senior wide receiver who has been with the Huskies since 2018. He had an impressive junior season, but was sidelined for the majority of 2020 due to an ankle injury. After a long rehabilitation process, McMillan is back and better than ever. He has already caught over 20 passes for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns in just four games this season, and is proving to be a reliable target for Penix Jr.
The return of Penix Jr. and McMillan has been a huge boost for the Huskies this season. Their experience and leadership have been invaluable, and their play on the field has been outstanding. With these two players leading the way, the Huskies are poised to make a deep run in the 2021 season.
It’s clear that Penix Jr. and McMillan have returned to form and are ready to lead the Huskies to success this season. With their experience and talent, the sky is the limit for the University of Washington football team in 2021.
