Now that spring ball has concluded, it's time to look back at what we saw during the 15 practices, looking in-depth at each position group. Today, the guys from Dawgman -- Kim Grinolds and Scott Eklund -- take a look at the EDGE group.

After an excellent season for the Husky EDGEs in 2022, when two players combined for 17.5 sacks, expectations are high as we head into the late spring and summer months.

The guys from Dawgman.com talked about the impact the group had on the Husky defense during the spring with Bralen Trice and Zion Tupuola-Fetui leading the way.

They also talked about the offseason signing of Zach Durfee, a Sioux Falls transfer, who flashed some serious potential during the 15 practices.

The Huskies have some nice depth, albeit relatively still inexperienced depth, that is led by Sekai Asoau-Afoa who is a versatile players who could play some on the inside as well as the outside.

Lance Holtzclaw and Maurice Heims are two scholarship prospects with a lot of promise, but the former was injured for much of the spring and the other got dinged up early, but returned and had some nice moments, although the coaches are still waiting for him to really break out.

A walk-on that has been making himself valuable to the group is Milton Hopkins. He won't blow you away with his size, but he's a hard worker and he understands the defense and his assignment and he always seems to be around the ball.

Anthony James is a true freshman who showed up early. One of the top EDGE prospects in the country when Washington flipped him from Texas A&M, he has the size and frame to become an absolute monster, but he needs to be locked away in the weight room for a year before he's ready to challenge for playing time.

The Huskies also have an impressive looking freshman, Jacob Lane, who has yet to arrive. Like his classmate, the Emerald Ridge prospect needs a year or two of seasoning before he'll be ready to make an impact, but the ceiling for him is high.

The guys wrap things up by talking about the 2024 EDGE board for the Huskies and which prospects they've honed in on.
