To keep Trey Adams true to his in-state commitment, Washington coaches were expecting a fight with more high-profile programs. Instead, Adams made it easy on them, never wavering in his pledge to the Huskies.
In turn, the easy decision by UW coaches last week to make Adams their new starter at left tackle — the first true freshman to start there since at least 1976, according to UW records — was made in part because of the fight Adams showed during his first days in a Husky uniform.
Adams, a 6-foot-7, 302-pound goliath from Wentachee, got into at least two minor scuffles with UW defensive linemen in the first week of fall camp last month.
