Jack Westover’s essential elements are evident in a single play.
Westover — a 6-foot-3, 241-pound redshirt-freshman tight end — scored his first career touchdown in Washington’s 51-27 win over Arizona, hauling in a 3-yard grab off play-action early in the third quarter to put the Huskies ahead.
That’s not the one we’re talking about.
No, the play that best defines Washington’s previously anonymous walk-on occurred roughly eight minutes later, with Jacob Eason setting up under center from the Arizona 4-yard line. Four yards behind Eason, Westover crouched as a makeshift fullback, with his left hand planted in the Tucson turf.
