UW All Pac-12 Potential Players in 2021

Topic

In 2016 we had a whopping 12 guys who were All-Pac 12. In 2018, it was 7 (not counting ST). Hunter Bryant and Trey Adams played key roles at the end of that season and would have been All-Pac-12 if fully healthy. Last season, if we count by the AP team, it was 7.

Let’s look at the potential for next season:

Consensus All-Pac-12

Cade Otton
Jackson Kirkland
Trent Mcduffie
Zion Tupuola Fetui
Eddie Ulofshio

Non Consensus

Ryan Bowman- 2nd Team in 2019 & #5 rated on our D in 2020
Henry Bainivalu- AP 2nd Team in 2020 & #2 in PFF guards rating

Most Likely New

Kyler Gordon- 2 time Honorable Mention
Laiatu Latu- He was going to be ZTF before he got hurt
Victor Curne- #3 rated OT by PFF, #2 returning. Rated our best OL.
Bookie- If he plays with discipline, he’s way better than Myles Bryant
Tuli Letuligasenoa- Was #4 returning DL by PFF in 2020.
Dylan Morris/Sam Huard- If Morris takes a step, he could be a lock for HM & close to 2nd team.

Guys Who We Need to Take a Step (no order):

Sam Taimani
Fatuui Tuitele
Dom Hampton
Julius Irvin
Cam Williams
Asa Turner
Danny Heimuli
Josh Calvert
Savell Smalls
Jalen McMillan
Rome Odunze
Cam Davis

Who in the last category will move into “most likely new” during the season?

My own view is the biggest question is the middle of the defense. The most important guys to rectify that question will be Tuli (needs to be healthy), Danny Hammer, Calvert & the safeties.

One guy I think could make the leap into “most likely new” is MJ Ale. The guy is a beast, another year of strength and conditioning should get his movement abilities up another notch. I also think Wattenberg could be an All Pac-12 center. Our O line might be the biggest strength of the team the next couple of years.

We need one of Calvert or Heimuli really push Sirmon at ILB.

Bump.

Anyone want to weigh in, now that spring ball is almost over?

Laiatu Latu and ZTF won’t be All-Conference.

Bowman will be 1st-team

Wattenberg will be in the mix for 1st or 2nd team.

Whoever our starting QB is will be 1st or 2nd-team.

Rome Odunze, Cam Davis, Dom Hampton, and Cam Williams are rising to Honorable Mention level.

I would hope by years end either Martin or Trice is starting over Bowman.

Nah, he’s too good. He’s gonna have a break out season with double digit sacks. He’s also our best run defender at OLB.

What’s the word on all-world center Myles Murao?

He’s a back up Freshman Guard for one of the deepest and most talented O-lines in the country.

Like you said, the middle of our defense especially on the line needs to step up. Teams will be attacking us there on offensively, so if we win the conference it most likely means that a guy like Taki made a pretty big leap.
