Welcome to Reece’s Pieces! Saturday, April 30th was not only the spring preview, but day three (rounds four through seven) of the NFL Draft, so as you can expect it had Twitter in a frenzy! Let’s go through some of the highlights.

Prior to the start of the spring preview, former Husky Tight End Cade Otton got drafted with the first pick of the 3rd day of the NFL Draft, making him the 3rd Husky off the board, but not the last!

The spring preview turnout provided Duck fans with a new way to show they are obsessed with UW.

Jaxson Kirkland sighting prior to kickoff!
One guy I don't see at today's UW spring preview, and who also wasn't at Thursday's walk-through: CB Jacobe Covington. Take that for what it's worth.

Interesting to say the least, which has caused Husky fans to theorize about his reasoning not to show up to the past few practices.
Now QB Dylan Morris is in with a group that mostly looks like the starters.

Michael Penix Jr. and Dylan Morris split first-team reps for the majority of the day, with Sam Huard leading the second-team.

In the middle of the spring review, we saw another former Husky get drafted in the fifth round, rounding out the Husky draft class as the fourth and final Husky to be selected.

Interesting dance moves from the Husky offensive line to say the least…
JT Tuimoloau is here!
(But before you ask, he’s not transferring from Ohio State.)
— Mike Vorel (@mikevorel) April 30, 2022
Probably the most shocking news to come out of the spring preview was former five-star defensive end out of Eastside Catholic J.T. Tuimoloau appearing in attendance, seemingly to support his friends on the team.
This didn’t stop people from theorizing though…
But, Is he transferring from Ohio State?
— DAYZsinceu0beatUW (@genericHuskyfan) April 30, 2022
He was there supporting his boys!!!! A lot of his friends are at Uw!

One of the best plays of the day came from redshirt freshman Junior Alexander!
The scrimmage ends with a 40-yard TD pass from Penix Jr. to Odunze.

Finally the game-winner, with a final score of Washington 34, Washington 29.
The Washington spring preview provided Husky fans and media with a lot of content.
