Super Freshman!

Who is this year's Taylor Rapp?

Super Freshman!

  • Byron Murphy- The redshirt freshman out of Arizona is going to be the most important piece of the Washington secondary in 2017. He is the next star at corner for UW on a long list of high profile NFL corners that includes Marcus Peters, Sidney Jones and Desmond Trufant. If Murphy is able to continue to show the ability to take over the game like he did against Rutgers, I believe the Husky defense will shine just as bright as it did last year.

  • Hunter Bryant- This true freshman tight end is exactly what the Husky offense that lost John Ross to the NFL needs. Bryant is a beast, at 6’2, 239 he is a force over the middle, can run like the wind and has incredible hands. I expect him to have a much bigger role in the offense as the season rolls along, especially after the loss of senior tight end David Ajamu for the season.

  • Camilo Eifler- This kid is a star, there’s no other way to put it. The only tough part about this right now is there are two NFL ready linebackers in front of him in Keishawn Bierria and Azeem Victor. Eifler has already been put in a position to shine next year, and I expect him to break through on the depth chart this year and make an impact in the middle of that defense.

  • Ty Jones- Probably my favorite player on this list, I couldn’t be more excited about this receiver from Utah. At 6’4, he’s another massive target to help replace the loss of John Ross, and I believe that he can make a huge impact after being an Army All-American last year, but the only problem is the Huskies’ depth at receiver. Behind starters Dante Pettis and Chico McClatcher, it’s a dawg fight (pun intended) to get playing time with Andre Baccelia, Aaron Fuller, Jordan Chin and Brayden Lenius also n the mix it might be tough, and while he dressed for the Rutgers game, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t get on the field at all this year and Chris Petersen puts a redshirt on him.

  • Joel Whitford- Punters are people too! Tristan Vizcaino is the kicker now, and 24 year old freshman from Australia is set to make an impact right away. The Australian style of punting is harder to field, and we saw Whitford make a big impact in the field position game, which is going to be crucial when field position really becomes a factor down the stretch against teams like Stanford and Washington State.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
