Six (or more) standouts for the UW Huskies halfway through spring football

We’ve reached the halfway point.

And no, Chris Petersen has not named a starting quarterback.

That isn’t to say there’s nothing to report on Washington’s most highly scrutinized position competition. In the six (of eight total) spring practices the media has been allowed to attend, junior Jacob Eason and sophomore Jake Haener have split the vast majority of starting reps. Haener has been simultaneously the most accurate and self-destructive, throwing and running for a touchdown apiece while serving up three interceptions.

Eason, meanwhile, has thrown two touchdowns — both in the same practice — without committing a turnover, but his renowned right arm has also been more erratic than the 6-foot-6 junior would probably like.
