2. Washington Huskies (8-5 in 2019)

The Washington Huskies are another team that did not meet expectations last season. They did, however, finish the season with a 38-7 win over the Boise State Broncos in the 2019 Las Vegas Bowl.

The Huskies are completely rebuilding after head coach Chris Petersen resigned as head coach. They will also be losing their quarterback in Jacob Eason as he skips his senior season for the 2020 NFL Draft. Jimmy Lake, who has been the defensive coordinator for the Huskies since 2016, will take over as head coach and will need as much help as he can.

Jarren Williams can come in as the day one starting quarterback for the Huskies as they will likely presume that four-star pro-style quarterback Ethan Garbers is not ready by the time the season starts. Last season, the Huskies were ranked 41st in the nation in points per game (32) and 57th in passing yards per game (243.1). Eason passed for 3,132 yards, 23 touchdowns and only eight interceptions on 260 completions (out of 405 attempts).

Williams can make the Huskies offense more dangerous as he could potentially be paired up with freshmen running back Richard Newton. Last season, Newton rushed for 10 touchdowns and 498 yards as freshmen.

Williams will be the most experienced skilled position player on the offensive side of the ball if he transfers to Washington. He can be a more progressive dual-threat player at Washington than he could at Miami.
