Washington Football: 3 freshmen who could become stars in 2020

It was a bit of a surprise that Jacob Eason decided to forgo his last year of eligibility and declare for the NFL draft. However, he decided to leave early and the Huskies were left with less depth in the quarterback room with the transfer of Jake Haener last season.

They do return four-star and No. 1 quarterback from Washington Dylan Morris and four-star quarterback and fellow No. 1 quarterback from Washington Jacob Sirmon. He will have to compete to start, but Ethan Garbers — the younger brother of Cal quarterback Chase Garbers — won’t have much of a problem with competition.

What jumps out about the younger Garbers when you look at the film is his footwork. He does an outstanding job of pointing his feet to his target and driving the ball to where he wants it to go.

Not only that, but Garbers also has a live arm. When you watch him throw, he does not have to heave the ball when he throws downfield. There are not many throws he cannot make with accuracy.

Though he is categorized as a pro-style quarterback, Garbers is an athlete who can run. Whether it be a designed run or when the play breaks down, Garbers has wheels when he needs them.

There is no guarantee new head coach Jimmy Lake will play a true freshman, but that does not mean he should not have an opportunity to compete.
