UW's Myles Gaskin is only 21. But he's likes being the "old dude" on the Huskies | The News Tribune

When someone brings up the concept to Myles Gaskin, he can't help but crack a smile before delivering a serious answer crafted with careful thought.

The 21-year-old Washington star tailback is a grandfather. Not literally. But by college football standards, he's an old man within the Huskies locker room. Gaskin will be a senior at UW in the fall and he's doing it in an era when achieving any hint of success is reason enough to bolt for the NFL after three seasons.

"It's crazy. It's went by fast. Four years has felt like two weekends," Gaskin said Wednesday after UW ended its first spring practice.
