Earlier today, Washington head football coach Jimmy Lake met with local Seattle media via a Zoom webinar to discuss the “official” start of fall camp for the Huskies. He spoke about how grateful the entire team is for having the opportunity to be on the field and have a season this fall. Lake also discussed updates to the roster and spoke about what position groups have impressed him the most so far.
