The Buzz of Seattle yesterday–and all of College Football–was the news that Jake was returning to the University of Washington Huskies for his senior year of football rather than enter the NFL draft. While there was much speculation to what decision he would make and a lot of opinions, Jake made the decision for himself….a decision that Husky Nation won’t soon forget.
A lot of links to choose from after a great day for Jake and the Huskies:
