Washington Team Report Dec 14, 2009

There was only one reason for hesitation in all the good feeling engendered by Washington's finish to its 2009 season—the uncertainty over whether junior quarterback Jake Locker will return for another year.

FILE - In this Sept. 19, 2009, file photo, Washington coach Steve Sarkisian, left, sends quarterback Jake Locker back to the field in the final moments against Southern California in an NCAA college football game in Seattle. When Washington star quarterback sat down with Steve Sarkisian earlier this week to begin evaluating whether to enter the NFL draft, he wasn't meeting with just any college coach who would beg him to return for a senior season. Sarkisian has already gone through this three other times this decade, while at USC guiding Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez.
