Washington, coming off a loss in last season’s national championship game, puts its new-look roster through its paces on Friday night.
Washington, coming off a 14-1 campaign in which its only loss came in the College Football Playoff National Championship game in January, prepares for its first season in the Big Ten on Friday night with its annual spring game. The changes for 2024 start at the top, with former Arizona coach Jedd Fisch taking over for Kalen DeBoer, who left Seattle to replace Nick Saban at Alabama. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. also left, selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the eighth overall pick in last month’s NFL draft. Fifth-year senior Will Rogers transferred from Mississippi State expecting to be Penix’s heir apparent, but true freshman Demond Williams Jr. from Chandler, Arizona, is pushing Rogers as an early enrollee on campus.

Junior wide receiver Denzel Boston emerged from spring practice as a player to watch on Friday night. The 6-foot-4 wideout made just five receptions for 51 yards last season as he was stuck behind NFL draft picks Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk and Jalen McMillan on the depth chart.
Indiana transfer defensive back Jordan Shaw impressed in spring practice as well. Shaw played in four games for the Hoosiers last season but emerged this spring in new defensive coordinator Stephen Belichick’s scheme at the “Husky” position as a nickel back. Belichick spent the last 12 seasons with the New England Patriots under his father, Bill Belichick, the last four as the outside linebackers coach.
Defensive end Russell Davis II followed Fisch from Arizona, where he had 3.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss in 11 games as a junior last season.
