Sam Huard wanted to set the record straight: he's not just a steak-eater nowadays. In a wide-ranging interview with Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds, the Kennedy Catholic quarterback makes it known that he's open to whatever is put on the dinner table.
But that's just the peas and carrots. When it comes to the meat of the interview, Grinolds asked Huard about his take on the ratings and rankings that come out and whether or not the UW-bound Huard ever really pays attention to the adulation.
He also talked about playing at a high level from an early age and growing up the son of a former NFL quarterback, Damon Huard, as well as the influence of another left-hander in the family, his uncle Brock. Oh, and Brock also played quarterback at Washington and the NFL.
Huard was asked about the relationship he's built with Dan Marino, who is a co-owner of Passing Time Winery with Sam's Dad, as well as the relationships he's built with some of the top football and basketball prospects growing up through the Seattle AAU basketball community.
They talked about the recruiting process, starting with the first offer he ever got, from Nevada, as well as his early decision to verbally commit to Washington shortly after getting offered.
Huard also talked about his daily routine right now in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, including his off-field preparations, as well as his relationship with Tracy Ford and Ford Sports Performance.
The two also talked about the moment when Chris Petersen stepped down as Washington's head coach, and how that could have impacted his decision to play for UW. Huard also talks about the conversations he's had with new UW Head Coach Jimmy Lake, and first-year offensive coordinator John Donovan.
Finally, Huard talked about the steps he still needs to take at Kennedy Catholic before jumping to the next level with the Huskies, as well as his role as the unofficial ringleader of Washington's 2021 recruiting efforts. He even throws out a name to watch, and also talks about the 'greatest player he's ever seen in his life'.
