Brother: Ryan Otton
Ryan Otton, the younger brother of former Husky standout Cade Otton, is making his mark on the football field.
Ryan’s football journey at Washington started with a bit of a challenge, a hamstring injury, and the loss of his mom during his freshman year.
Following in his brother’s footsteps, Ryan wears the iconic No. 87, symbolizing the Otton legacy on the field.
Even though he’s not in the spotlight yet, coaches see a lot of promise in his skills and his dedication to improving every day.
Last season, Ryan made a cameo against Colorado, showing he’s ready for the big stage. He’s got a few more years to go, but with the Huskies, he’s one to watch.
