Job ‘not finished,’ QB Penix to return for Huskies

Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the country’s leader in passing backyards, will return to the Huskies for the 2023 season, he revealed Sunday night.In a video

published to social media, Penix stated, “As I review this special season we had, I understood there were so many terrific moments and things to celebrate, but I KNOW for sure there is so much more out there for this group and the job is still not finished. I can’t wait to be back playing in Husky Arena for the 2023 season!”No. 12

Washington went 10-2 under first-year coach Kalen DeBoer and will face Texas in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29.

Penix began his profession at Indiana and played under DeBoer in 2019 before transferring to Washington and rejoining him after the 2021 season.2 Associated

He redshirted at Indiana in 2018 and will use the additional season of eligibility given in 2020 to play one final year for Washington.Penix has withstood several substantial injuries in his college career, and a jump to the NFL seemed likely after he passed for 4,354 lawns with 29 goals and seven interceptions this fall.Instead, he will return to a Washington group that enhanced by 6 wins in DeBoer’s first season, ending up in a three-way tie for second location in the Pac-12. Penix is just the second Washington player to eclipse 4,000 passing yards in a season and needs 105 yards in the championship game to set the school’s single-season passing record.
