Steve Emtman (1989-'91) -- The anchor on defense for the 1991 National Championship team, Emtman is the only Husky player to be named the Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy winner. He also was the highest Husky finisher in the Heisman Trophy race, placing fourth among all finalists. The Emtman-led defense allowed a paltry 9.2 points per game to opponents.

Napoleon Kaufman (1991-'94) -- Washington's career rushing leader in yards (4,041), attempts (710), per-carry average (5.7), per-game average (91.8) and touchdowns (33). He appeared in the Rose Bowl in 1991 and 1992 and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy and Doak Walker award his senior year.

Hugh McElhenny (1949-'51) -- Known as "The King", McElhenny set the UW scoring record with 233 points, the most by a non-kicker in Husky history. He still holds the Husky single-game rushing record with 296 yards against Washington St. in 1950. He is a member of both the NFL Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame.

George Wilson (1923-'25) -- His No. 33 is one of just three retired numbers for Washington. A three-time All-American halfback and a member of the 1924 and 1926 Rose Bowl teams, Wilson rushed for 134 yards and threw two touchdowns as a senior against Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Wilson was inducted into the College Football and Rose Bowl Halls of Fame.
