When JoJo McIntosh speaks, everybody listens.
Washington defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake said Tuesday he didn’t have enough words to describe what McIntosh has meant to the program, but those were some of the first he chose.
He didn’t stop there. He added a lot more: About McIntosh’s teammates looking to him for leadership, about Lake leaning on him, too.
Even last year, when McIntosh was still a redshirt junior, he was the player breaking down the defensive backs before the games. He was also the one Lake turned to for help if things weren’t going right during practice.
