Veteran RB Joins Team for Explosive Hits!
The Washington Huskies added a veteran running back to their roster just two weeks before the start of spring practice.
With just two weeks remaining before the start of spring practice, Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies have made a late and relatively unexpected addition through the transfer portal. On Tuesday afternoon, On3's Pete Nakos reported that former Troy running back Trey Cooley has signed with the Huskies after spending one season with the Trojans; however, he didn't play due to a knee injury. That gave him a medical redshirt for a sixth season of eligibility.
Before his time at Troy, he spent four seasons in the ACC, with two apiece at Louisville and Georgia Tech, where he averaged 4. 7 yards per carry and compiled 1,009 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground. He also added 33 catches for 355 yards and 4 scores through the air, and appeared to be on track for a productive season as a senior with the Yellow Jackets in 2024.
However, he was limited to just two games that season due to a concussion he suffered on special teams during Georgia Tech's season opener in Ireland against Florida State.
