Washington awards scholarships to walk-on defensive linemen John Clark, Josiah Bronson

Washington walk-on defensive linemen John Clark and Josiah Bronson both practiced at times with the starters this spring.

Come August, they’ll compete with the likes of senior Benning Potoa’e, junior Levi Onwuzurike, redshirt freshmen Sam Taimani and Tuli Letuligasenoa and true freshmen Jacob Bandes and Faatui Tuitele for a consistent role in UW’s defensive line rotation.

And they’ll do so on scholarship.

The Husky seniors were officially put on scholarship during a team meeting on Sunday, a UW spokesperson confirmed on Thursday.

This isn’t Bronson’s first time receiving a scholarship with a Division I program.
