The transfer portal giveth, the transfer portal taketh. Washington’s football program can attest to that after the rollercoaster of movement that’s transpired over the past few seasons.
The portal is directly responsible for Michael Penix Jr. becoming a Husky legend while leading Washington to the College Football Playoff. It’s also the cause — along with a head coach departure — of last offseason’s mass exodus that dipped Washington from the sport’s runner-up to a participant in the upcoming Sun Bowl.
This time, Washington hopes to use the portal to take steps toward being a Big Ten contender.
