Sam Huard’s family roots run deep in Husky history.
His maternal grandfather, Vince Lorrain, was a defensive back and punt returner for Jim Owens’ Washington teams in the mid-1960s.
More famously, his father, Damon, and uncle, Brock, were UW’s quarterbacks in the 1990s. Damon was the Huskies’ all-time leading passer until Brock broke that record a few years later.
So, naturally, Sam Huard was “fired up,” his father said, to receive a formal scholarship offer from Chris Petersen during a visit to the coach’s office at Husky Stadium on Sunday.
