Heading into next Monday’s Sugar Bowl in New Orleans against the No. 3 Texas Longhorns, junior Dillon Johnson has become the bell cow back for the rushing attack of the No. 3 Washington Huskies in his first season in Seattle, providing a focal point for Kalen DeBoer’s running game that split caries between two lead backs last season when the Huskies faced the Longhorns in the Alamo Bowl.
In fact, it’s not even close — standing at 6’0, 218 pounds, the do-it-all back has dominated the running back room with 231 snaps compared to the next highest with 41.
