As the draft ended Saturday afternoon, Chris Polk, Devin Aguilar and Jermaine Kearse all received offers from NFL teams to sign as undrafted free agents. We would like to congratulate Chris on signing with the Philadelphia Eagles, Devin with the Tennessee Titans and Jermaine with the Seattle Seahawks!

Chris Polk will join a very talented backfield in Philadelphia

Devin Aguilar will be catching passes from former Husky quarterback Jake Locker with the Titans

Jermaine Kearse will remain at CenturyLink Field as he joins the Seahawks

Senio Kelemete was chosen by the Arizona Cardinals with the 16th pick in the 5th round of the 2012 NFL Draft.  Congratulations to Senio and all of his hard work.  We look forward to watching him on the Cardinals’ offensive line!

Congratulations to Alameda Ta’amu on getting drafted. ‘Meda was just picked up by the Steelers with the 14th pick of the 4th round. We’re excited to see what the big Dawg can do at the next level in the middle of the stingy Steelers defense. Check out Coach Sark’s tweet about his excitement for the former anchor of the Husky D.

1) One lucky fan has the chance to catch a touchdown pass from Keith Price between the 1st and 2nd quarter, along with receiving a signed football from Coach Sark.
2) Another lucky fan can call a play in the 2nd half! A random fan will be chosen to call the signal on a play in tomorrow’s Spring Game, and will also get a signed football from Coach Sark.
3) Amazing sounds from DJ Jerry Wang and, of course, the ultimate siren.
4) Come see where it all begins.

GO DAWGS!!!

The leading all-time rusher for your Washington Huskies, Napoleon Kaufman, stopped by the football office today to hang out with Coach Sark and the staff. The Husky Legend amassed 4,106 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns while with the Dawgs from 1991-1994. Kaufman also returned kicks for the 1991 National Championship team as a freshman. Kaufman helped lay the foundation for the National Championship and the winning tradition that surrounds this program.

We are a little less hungry in the office now that Pirate’s Booty sailed in with a sponsorship of the program. Pirate’s Booty is stocking up the Husky Football Office with delicious, healthy snacks perfect for the fast-paced environment of the office. Thanks guys!

The NFL Draft starts today at 5pm PT. The Colts have been on the clock for several months and their pick is pretty secure, but make sure to tune in to see how high the Dawgs go during the duration of the draft which continues through Saturday. Last year, the Titans picked Jake Locker, former Husky quarterback, with the 8th overall pick. Also from the 2011 Draft, the Buccaneers drafted Mason Foster with the 84th pick (also the number of tackles he had last year).

Here is a list of the following players eligible for the draft:
