12/09/22 - QB Michael Penix Jr., rSr/2024, Washington

After leading the UW Huskies to a 10-2 record by putting together one of the best seasons by a quarterback in program history, Michael Penix Jr. made a choice that surprised many. Rather than declare for the NFL Draft and start his professional career, the nation's leading passer decided he wanted to return to Washington for one more year, which he announced at the team's end-of-year banquet and then to the public Sunday on social media. UW Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. returning for 2023 season "There's been a lot going on, but being able to finalize my decision, it's been great," Penix told Seattle Sports 710 AM's Brock and Salk Thursday morning.

So how did the lefty signal caller come to that decision? "It was a lot of factors. I just felt like coming back was just my best option," Penix said. "I felt like I had a shot going to the next level, but coming back, I felt like there was a lot of unfinished business. We had a lot of goals this season and I felt like we were so close to reaching them, and I know that just being able to come back and being able to be in the system for one more year and being able to develop more and try to get those goals that we had this season." Penix said he got "some pretty good information" about where he likely would have been drafted had he declared, and once he learned what he needed, there was no point in waiting longer in announcing he'd return to the UW Huskies. "I was waiting for different teams to get done grading and stuff like that. But once I was able to get some pretty clear information, I was able to make that decision," he said. "I didn't feel like I needed to wait. I was just waiting for the right time and trusting my heart, and I felt like it was time for me to make that decision." - MyNorthwest.com
