The hard-hitting defensive back left a lot of kick returners sprawled on the field.
Nine months ago at Husky Stadium, the Tulsa return man innocently settled under a third-quarter kickoff at Husky Stadium at his 4-yard line and took off running. At the 17, Tristan Dunn took his head off.
One of the scarier things about this UW football team that won 14 of 15 games and finished as the CFP runner-up was the sight of 6-foot-4, 197-pound Dunn running at full speed and hurtling his body at defenseless returners. This is one in a series of articles -- going from 0 to 99 on the Husky roster -- examining what each scholarship player and leading walk-on did this past spring and what to expect from them going forward.Coming out of spring practice, Dunn, a sophomore from Olympia, Washington, was running as the No. 2 nickelback behind Dyson McCutcheon, but Jedd Fisch's new UW coaching staff clearly was trying to find a way to get him on the field more.
For now, he's a dedicated secondary member and that accomplished special-teamer. He finished last season with 16 tackles, all except for a handful coming on kickoffs or punts.
