What a special weekend it turned out to be for Washington Huskies kicker Grady Gross.
Gross made the game-winning 42-yard field goal against Washington State on Saturday to propel the Huskies to a 24-21 win. His teammates proceed to carry him away as Washington fans stormed the field.
The Huskies finished the regular season 12-0 after the way. In the locker room, it got even better for Gross as Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer rewarded the sophomore kicker and now former walk on with a scholarship.
“It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m thankful for Grady Gross,” DeBoer said as Washington’s players cheer. “And you know what I hope Grady Gross is thankful for? This scholarship he’s earned.”
Here’s the clip of the special moment:
Gross has been the Huskies kicker all season, handling kickoffs, field goals and extra points. He’s been perfect on extra points all year. His game-winner against the Cougars also marked his fifth field goal of at least 40 yards on the year.
