UW Huskies mailbag: The QB competition, pass rush improvement and rise of the redshirt freshmen

Once spring practice ended, the chaos commenced.

Two days after Washington wrapped up 15 April practices with its annual Spring Preview, redshirt freshman quarterbacks Jacob Sirmon and Colson Yankoff entered their names into the NCAA transfer portal on Monday. Sirmon — a 6-foot-5, 235-pound Bothell product and former four-star recruit — reconsidered and pulled his name from the portal on Wednesday. Roughly an hour earlier, it was reported that five-star 2020 outside linebacker and Kennedy Catholic standout Sav’ell Smalls had eliminated the Huskies from his list of eligible suitors.

So, yeah, we have some things to talk about.
