The Spring Position Breakdowns make their final stop at a vitally important group of personnel: special teams!
Performance in 2022
The performance by the special teams group was up-and-down throughout 2022. On the one hand, Peyton Henry was excellent, going 19 for 22 on field goals with a season long field goal of 50 yards at the Rose Bowl against UCLA, additionally chipping in 58 extra points on 59 attempts. Some of those field goals Henry made were extremely significant. A 43-yard game winner against Oregon excised his rivalry demons from 4 years prior in 2018, and a 22-yard game winner in the swirling wind against Oregon State both cemented him in Husky lore, not only as a clutch kicker, but as UW’s all-time leading scorer, as he surpassed Jeff Jaeger with 402 career points.
