Benning Potoa’e looking to end UW career in style after moving to defensive line

The Huskies needed some reinforcements along the defensive line, and they didn’t have to look too far to find a player who could help fill a hole.

Enter senior Benning Potoa’e, the highly recruited Lakes High School star who has started 23 games the past two seasons at linebacker, who is now a defensive lineman. He 20 pounds, up to 290 on his 6-foot-3 frame, and he is ready to do whatever the Huskies need in his final season at UW.

“I am liking it a lot, a lot of freedom, cause a lot of havoc and a lot less thinking,” he said.
