Earlier today, Washington defensive backs coach Will Harris met with local Seattle media via a Zoom webinar to discuss the progress at fall camp for the Huskies this week. Sophomore inside linebacker Jackson Sirmon also joined the media call to chime in with his thoughts as well. The outlook of the entire defense, the state of the linebackers, and the defensive backs group were talked about in full detail. They are very optimistic about how the defense will progress after going through fall camp each day.
Here are things of note that they said…..
