“Relentlessness” is how 4-star linebacker Kamar Mothudi describes Washington’s defense last season.

”I saw guys not giving up.  Every single play…all 11 get there.  I saw that, especially the Oregon game,” he recalled of Washington’s 37-34 victory in Eugene this past season.  “There was a point going into the 4th quarter where I was like, ‘Oregon’s got this won’, but not…at…all.”

He loved the Husky’s mentality of never accepting defeat.

”Big 4th down stops, the offense going out and doing its job, Penix coming out and slinging it,” he said. “It was crazy.  Everyone have 100-percent effort. It was awesome.”

Washington’s offense impressed him, as well.

”Michael Penix was a highlight reel.  Dot after dot after dot,” he recalled.

Being recruited by both Oregon and Washington, the outcome of the game will be a slight factor, but his visit to Seattle is a huge factor.

He proved his own relentlessness this past weekend at the National Preps Showcase at Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas taking home the overall MVP.

“The combine was amazing. I just had a great time being able to compete and fly around,” he said.  “Coach Inge was there and he was actually able to give me tips and coach me up through the drills which was nice.”

He enjoyed catching up with Inge in person but he also is enjoying connecting with Washington fans on social media.

“Before I had even checked my phone after the camp there was love coming from Husky Nation,” he said.  ”It’s always nice feeling supported when going to events like these whether it’s my family or the Huskies.”

If he has one superpower it would  be the ability to stop time.

”There’s never enough of time. To have the ability to control time by snapping my fingers so that I could get a moment of clarity would be really cool,” he said.

In reality he uses film study to essentially stop time.

”In big plays I’ve made the game seems to slow down because of things I’ve studied so much.  You train your eyes to know what to look for and how to react faster,” he said.

From study he gets the moment of clarity that helped him earn his league’s defensive MVP, and overall MVP this past weekend.

He’s hoping for a return visit to Seattle in the Spring as well as one of his 5 official visits.
