Sean McGrew didn’t even ask his Husky teammates if they had tickets to spare for Saturday’s game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The sophomore running back knew he wouldn’t get the 20 to 25 he needed, so his father bought enough for the extended family. That is because it will be a homecoming for McGrew, who was the Gatorade California Player of the Year in 2015 out of St. John Bosco High in Bellflower, a suburb of Los Angeles.
UCLA was on McGrew’s short list of college choices before becoming a Husky.
“It would mean a lot, being back home, having some friends on the other team and being in front of my family,” McGrew said of getting carries this week.
