The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together to talk about what they expect to see when fall camp breaks for Washington on August 6.Starting with the quarterback position, they go through position-by-position and talk about the main players for each room, expected position battles, the health of each room going into camp, and who needs to step up and be counted on as the Huskies look to improve on a season where they averaged 409.9 yards and 34.1 points per game.When it comes to the signal-callers, what does Demond Williams need to do to take the next step in his development? Is it for sure that former Stanford quarterback Elijah Brown will be his backup?How ready are Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley when it comes to leading the running backs despite not playing at all during spring? And who is going to join them as the backs Scottie Graham will have to lean on this fall?Will Christian Moss be able to overcome his spring nicks and dings to provide the kind of production and leadership needed for a very young receiving corps? And who are the younger receivers that have the potential to step up and be counted on?As far as the tight ends go, will they have the bodies necessary to play more than 11 or 12 personnel? Could a third tight end emerge? Will Kade Eldridge go back to strictly being a tight end, or did Jedd Fisch see enough of him at fullback to continue using him there too?And when it comes to the offensive line, are the starters set even though two of them missed basically all of spring? Are there still position battles to be had, especially inside? And who are the linemen Michael Switzer can count on for providing quality depth?One thing is for sure; they are so much bigger and better as a unit than they were back when Fisch took over in 2024.

Husky One Series with HUGH MILLEN We've saved the Dawgs QB room for our QB1, Hugh Millen, so how is he feeling about Demond Williams leading the Huskies this year?

The Big Ten enters 2026 after winning three consecutive national championships with Michigan, Ohio State and Indiana—and Oregon may be positioned to make it four champions in four years.Gary Segars previews all 18 programs, starting with the three-team championship tier. Oregon has the conference's most complete roster around Dante Moore, an experienced defense and a manageable schedule. Ohio State may possess the highest ceiling with Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, but the Buckeyes face significant defensive turnover and a brutal path. Indiana must replace a Heisman Trophy quarterback and major championship production, yet Curt Cignetti's transfer-portal record keeps the Hoosiers firmly in contention.The dark-horse tier includes USC, Michigan, Penn State and Washington. USC has the offensive talent to disrupt the race if Gary Patterson repairs the defense. Michigan begins a fascinating new era with Kyle Whittingham and Bryce Underwood, while Penn State undergoes a near-total program transplant under Matt Campbell. Demond Williams gives Washington upset potential against anyone.The episode also ranks the conference's bowl-level teams and rebuilds, evaluates the best quarterbacks and units, analyzes schedule advantages and travel disadvantages, and identifies the games most likely to determine the Big Ten Championship.The final predictions include a rematch title game, the surprise team, the potential disappointment and betting analysis involving Oregon, Wisconsin, Iowa, UCLA, Penn State and USC.

Bud Elliott sits down with Scott Eklund of Dawgman.com to preview Washington's 2026 season.The guys break down the offseason portal drama surrounding quarterback Demond Williams and discuss where he still needs to improve as he enters a pivotal season in Seattle. They also dive into the Huskies' roster, key position groups, and what Washington needs to contend in the Big Ten.

Some quarterbacks earn their scars. Some have them handed to them. Either way, they're part of the path.This week's episode of Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is with a QB who knows that better than most - Demond Williams Jr of the Washington Huskies. Demond heads into year three at UW with a chance to be one of the most dynamic players in America and in my eyes, is the most challenging quarterback to prepare for in the nation.As always, each episode of Y-Option is fueled by our founding sponsor, 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.Demond and I sat down at the Elite 11 Finals, where he was pouring into the next generation of quarterbacks as a counselor. It was a full circle moment as Demond was a camper there himself. When he showed up in high school I shared the same note with him as we shared with every QB each summer: the only guarantee is that your path will not go as you envision it.'That's the thing about playing QB, the path never goes as planned.This past off-season tested Demond in a way most people will never experience, but all have an opinion on. For the UW star, what came on the other side of a hectic 48 hours wasn't bitterness. Rather, it was growth.He and I talked about leaning on his faith. His family. His support system. About having to go back and rebuild relationships, brick by brick, and how that work shaped the leader he's become. Not a quieter version of himself. A more outspoken one with an edge.And the difference shows up in the small moments. Where he used to stay after practice throwing extra routes, now he's just as likely to be hanging with his teammates. One might say they are building the culture from the inside out. That's not an accident. That's a veteran understanding what actually wins football games.His bond with Jedd Fisch is 4 years deep now. Built on trust. Built on what they call PCP in their offense: play caller purpose. Knowing exactly what's being asked, then making it happen.Washington has a loaded schedule this fall. The Apple Cup to open on NBC. A trip to USC. Penn State at home. Indiana at home. Finish in Eugene. Overall, a real chance to make noise in the Big Ten and push toward the Playoff conversation.And I can't wait to get there to see it in person week 1 as the season is right around the corner.Much love and stay steady, YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

BRAD ADAM (Mariners TV) joins the show to help us make sense of that bad weekend of baseball. It sure seemed like the Mariners had things on their side heading into the weekend and they turned around and got swept. Was the team as bothered as we were by what happened? Do the players just take it in-stride or is there anger behind the scenes? What's going on with Cal and why was the team so secretive about his injury? :30- Dawgs After Dark went down on Friday, but the thing everyone is talking about is the lack of fans in attendance. :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

Which way does cam look at it- you had 7 guys drafted from the Dawgs; that's incredible and Jedd is a great coach OR you had 7 guys drafted, why weren't we better last year?

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - had to find a spot to record while the UCLA-UW Softball game was going on behind them to offer up their thoughts on today's final scrimmage before 'Dawgs After Dark', as well as update UW fans on the players that got drafted today. And as it fortuitously worked out for us, Zach Durfee was taken as the 7th Husky in the 7th round just moments before we were set to wrap up the podcast, so we were able to give our thoughts on that news too. To start, we talked about the general tone of the scrimmage, which went 130 plays according to UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch. We talked about the gulf in class between Demond Williams and the rest of the quarterbacks room. We talked about the running backs that continue to get turns and how that room will invariably change once Jayden Limar and Trey Cooley are cleared to play. We talked about how good it was to see Ohio State transfer Bodpegn Miller get some snaps during the scrimmage and also how some of the lesser-known pass-catchers, like Charlie Crowell, started to get some production. We talked about interceptions by Kayden Greene and freshman safety Gavin Day highlighting the play the defense.  We talked about the battle in the trenches, how it's been a blessing that no one has really gotten injured in there so far this spring, and how the rooms will definitely improve, especially when the DL gets former Mississippi State standout freshman Kai McClendon back. But mostly it was about how the defense is still a ways ahead of the offense, and also how the competition level has continued to rise and rise, leading to more scuffles and how the competition has pressurized things to where there's more breakdowns - like poor snaps, penalties, and the like. Scott offered up a quick recruiting update, as there were a few prospects there today but UW is really gearing up their recruiting efforts to coincide with Dawgs After Dark. And then Zach Durfee was picked by Jacksonville shortly before we closed out the show.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Prediction Show Kickoff — Hockey Gold, Mariners Optimism, and a Cole Young Attitude Adjustment 22:22 | 2026 Prediction Show: Seahawks Repeat Forecasts, Roster Calls, and League-Wide Bold Picks 49:57 | 2026 Prediction Show: College Football and Mariners 2026 Predictions – Playoff Calls, Coaching Hot Seats, and a World Series Push 59:47 | 2026 Prediction Show: Mariners Prospect Timelines, World Cup Takes, NBA Futures, and Sonics Expansion Speculation 1:14:14 | 2026 Prediction Show: March Madness Picks, NFL Draft Forecasts, Golf Majors, Kraken Playoff Hopes, and Wild Card Bombshells 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: USA wins men's and women's Olympic hockey gold, JSN comments on becoming highest-paid WR and looming Seahawks extensions, Zach Charbonnet ACL surgery delay raises questions, Stephen A.
