Spring has officially arrived, and with it, most college football programs have kicked off or are about to begin spring practice. As I’ve often said, spring ball is one of the most critical times for an athlete. This year it’s even more pivotal, with the second transfer portal window opening in late April, giving coaches a crucial opportunity to evaluate their rosters and address key needs.For the Washington Huskies, this spring marks a significant phase in Jedd Fisch’s 2nd year at the helm. With new faces, young players stepping up, and 2 new coordinators, the program is rapidly evolving.Deep Dive on UW with Christian CapleNo one is more plugged into the day-to-day happenings at UW than Christian Caple, founder of On Montlake - the go-to Substack for in-depth, sourced reporting on Washington Huskies football. This week, Christian joins the Y-Option podcast, presented by our founding partner 76, to break down the latest from Montlake.Having covered the Huskies since his college days during the Tyrone Willingham era, Christian has been immersed in every snap of Washington football for over a decade. In our conversation, he shares: ✅ His journey building On Montlake ✅ The passion behind UW’s fan base ✅ How Jedd Fisch has built the current roster ✅ The development of QB Demond Williams Jr. ✅ The new structure of UW’s front office in today’s college football landscapeWhy I’m High on the HuskiesPersonally, I’m bullish on the future of UW. I’ve known Jedd Fisch since 2009, when we both met in Seattle while interviewing for roles with Pete Carroll’s Seahawks staff. Now, in his 2nd season with the Huskies, Fisch is leading a much-improved roster and coaching one of the most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in the Big Ten - at least in my eyes.That might sound bold, considering Demond Williams Jr. has yet to win a game as a starter. But having known him since high school and Elite 11, I believe he has the tools to be a game-changer on Montlake.More to ExploreWe hope you enjoy our detailed spring preview of UW, and if you’re looking for insights on college football this spring, these past episodes are for you:🏈 What’s happening at Stanford? 🏈 B1G quarterbacks in 2025 🏈 Marcus Arroyo’s journey to Coordinating ASU to the CFP 🏈 Former UW head coach Kalen DeBoer’s transition to TuscaloosaIf you love college football and are seeking a lens on the game from the West Coast we've got you covered at Y-Option.com through the draft and spring football.
