Former Huskies QB Cody Pickett ‘in an awesome place’ as coach of one of nation’s top-ranked girls basketball teams

UW's all-time passing leader has led Eagle (Idaho) to a perfect regular season.

He remains, for now, the most prolific quarterback the Huskies have ever had. As a three-year starter from 2001-03, Cody Pickett threw for 10,220 yards and 55 touchdowns — two of the 21 passing records he set at Washington.

He was tough, too. Remember when he threw for a school-record 455 yards against Arizona in 2001, then dived in for the game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left? He did all that with a separated throwing shoulder.

Two years later, as a senior in 2003, he played most of the season with a torn pectoral muscle, and also suffered a knee injury and a concussion that season.
