A former Huskies football star has had his season cut short.
The Atlanta Falcons announced today that starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will have season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn left ACL.
Penix’s college career was plagued by injuries after tearing his right ACL twice while at Indiana. He went on to become a Heisman finalist in his final season at UW, when he helped them reach the national championship in 2024.
This is now his fifth season-ending injury in eight seasons between college and the NFL.
It comes after Penix threw for just under 2,000 yards with 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions while leading Atlanta to a 3-7 record.

His father is the leading receiver in NFL history and ended his 20-year career in the league with Seattle in 2004.
