SANTA CLARA, Calif. — An emotional Trey Adams exchanged hugs with just about everyone in purple Friday night in the moments after Washington secured its first Rose Bowl berth since 2000.
In his first start for the Huskies in more than 13 months, Adams played all 73 snaps at left tackle in a 10-3 victory over Utah in the Pac-12 championship game. The preseason All-American had missed the first 10 games of the season while recovering from back surgery, which followed major knee surgery in October 2017.
“The way I looked at it was, my time and this team’s time was going to come,” the 6-foot-8, 320-pound senior from Wenatchee said in his first interview since August.
