Huskies also have "high hopes" for redshirt freshman Ariel Ngata at outside linebacker.
The Huskies want more out of Tevis Bartlett, and the senior linebacker believes he’s capable of doing just that.
“Absolutely. We all want to play, right?” Bartlett said. “If you can get more in the action, that’s even better. I’d love to have more of the responsibility. Now I’ve just to go help my teammates and produce.”
In shifting Bartlett to inside linebacker, Washington coaches have indeed given more him more responsibilities and put him in better position to have a great influence on the defense, to be around the ball more.
