A new Husky running back emerged in Saturday's game. Lots of hype surrounding Salvon's 4.3 speed but you need RB's that can run it up the gut too.

“He’s always been a violent runner,” said Eric Nickols, Newton’s former head coach at Palmdale High School. “We always described him as a kid that, when we actually did a tackling drill that was full contact, everybody always got up (from tackling him) like, ‘God dang, this hurts.’ ‘That hurts.’ You just didn’t get up off the ground feeling healthy.

How Richard arrived at UW:

I used to live in an apartment complex that was right next to Palmdale high school. It's always good to see local kids succeeding in big schools.
