The Washington Huskies are working to address their running back situation ahead of the upcoming matchup against USC. With Denzel Boston and Jonah Coleman departing, the team looks to Quaid Carr, a projected redshirt freshman starter, to lead their ground game. After an injury to Jordan Washington during spring practices, Carr has emerged as a key figure, showcasing a running style that aligns with the team's offensive strategies. Other candidates for the position include Oregon transfer Jayden Limar and Troy's Trey Cooley. Producing a strong run game will be essential for the Huskies to remain competitive against the Trojans.
