Four Washington Huskies football players have earned a spot on the prestigious 2026 Comeback Player of the Year Award watch list. Wide receiver Rashid Williams, tight ends Kade Eldridge and Charlie Crowell, and running back Trey Cooley were recognized for their perseverance through injuries that sidelined them for at least six games last season.
Both Charlie Crowell and Trey Cooley faced particularly challenging setbacks, missing the entirety of the 2025 season after suffering injuries during fall camp. Rashid Williams experienced a collarbone injury early in the season, followed by a subsequent hand injury that delayed his return. Kade Eldridge, a local talent, also saw his season cut short by a foot injury in mid-October.
