Special thanks to Sound the Siren of The College Huddle network for reviewing my records of Washington’s roster for accuracy.

After a remarkable run to the national title game, capping a 25-3 record in two years and resuscitating the Huskies from their awful 4-8 season in 2021, head coach Kalen DeBoer and much of his staff left for Alabama in January. UW was due for quite a bit of roster turnover regardless, as their run last season was built on retaining several NFL players who might have gone pro earlier and super-seniors who’d exhausted their prolonged eligibility from the covid holiday, but the coaching change seems to have resulted in even more players hitting the portal and other departures.
