The Pacific Northwest Football Hall of Fame inducted Huskies Dick Baird, Steve Emtman, and Carver Gayton into their 2012 class this past Friday. Gayton played on the 1960 Rose Bowl Championship team as a running back.  Baird was a recruiting coordinator and a assistant coach on the 1991 National Championship team, and spent many years before that as a prep coach in the state. Emtman was also on the undefeated 1991 squad, won the Outland Trophy that year, and the Indianapolis Colts took him first overall in the 1992 NFL Draft. Congratulations for setting the standard high for Husky Football!

On behalf of the entire football office, we would like to offer our deepest condolences to the Seau family for the loss of the NFL legend, Junior Seau.  Seau was a 12-time Pro Bowl selection and was selected for the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.

Coach Sark recently toured the fraternities and sororities at UW to send out his message on the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure fight against Breast Cancer.

Today, scouts from different NFL teams came to take down the heights and weights of all draft eligible seniors on the Husky squad, who will be eligible for the NFL Draft in 2013.  They also gave the players a Wonderlic Test (given to players entering the draft).
