HUSKIES Gameday 5 HUSKY PROFILE / JAFAR WILLIAMS

by Mason Kelley

or a football player, there is noth- ing more difficult than watching from the sidelines as your team goes to battle on Saturday, knowing that if you were out there, you could make a difference. Inside linebacker Jafar Williams, once a key cog in the Husky defense, endured that frustra- tion for a full year in 2001 while relegated to the bench with shoulder and ankle injuries. This year, the fifth-year senior is determined to make an impact on the field, and help put the bite back into the Husky defense. A solid contributor to the defense in 1998 and 1999, when he totaled 38 tackles while appearing in every game of both seasons, Williams was poised for a breakout season in 2000. The Husky defense was loaded with talent, including corner- backs Omare Lowe and Anthony Vontoure, safeties Hakim Akbar and Curtis Williams, linebackers Williams and Jeremiah Pharms, Jafar Williams and defensive lineman Larry Tripplett. Washington won its first three games, including a home win over sixth-ranked Miami, and rolled into Oregon’s Autzen Stadium ready to begin their run to the 2000 Pac-10 Conference title. While the Huskies lost, 23-16, to the Ducks, Williams had a career day on defense, making seven tackles, including a sack of Ducks quarterback . “The Oregon game was a really physical game, so physical that my face hurt after- wards,” Williams says. “Other than that I didn’t feel that anything was wrong.” Soon, though, the pain worsened, and an when another defensive player dove for the ball carrier After starting 18 games exam by team doctors revealed a biceps tendon strain. and somebody hit my ankle,” the linebacker said. “My combined in 1999 and The injury would allow Williams to play on Saturdays, but knee, ankle — everything — twisted, but the ankle was 2000, Williams missed kept him out of practices during the week.

Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generated lofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant for innovative fundraising ideas. Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999 after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to 1998. His seven-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711). Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-year old Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior to securing the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater, UCLA, under his college coach Terry Donahue, and was an assistant coach for one season on Bill McCartney’s staff in Boulder. He was named the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994. At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was 3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games were against Pac-10 Conference opponents. He had 20 wins in his first two seasons as a college coach, which tied for the fourth-most by a first- time college coach in the Division I-A modern era. Both of those Colorado teams finished in the top-10 of the national polls. Neuheisel had a number of “firsts” while coaching the Buffaloes: • He became the first first-year Colorado coach to take a team to a bowl game. • The team’s 10 wins in 1995 were the most ever by a first-year CU coach. • The Buffaloes’ No. 4 ranking in the USA Today standings and No. 5 ranking in the final Associated Press poll were the eighth-highest rankings ever for a first-year coach. • Neuheisel’s 10 wins his first year tied for the fifth-most by a rookie. • The 1996 Colorado team set a school record by winning 10 Head coach Rick Neuheisel signals in a play during the the 2001 season. consecutive road games. 20 HUSKIES Gameday • The 1997 Buffalo team produced three All- Americans, including Butkus Award winner PERSONAL INFORMATION Matt Russell. • He is only the fourth coach to guide his first Full name: Richard Gerald Neuheisel, Jr. two teams to a pair of 10-win seasons.

Then again, Alaska native Wilbur Hooks, Jr., is used to having to work for attention. “It was kind of hard being a guy from Alaska,” says Hooks, one of two Husky players, including defensive lineman Tui Alailefaleula, from the USA’s largest state. “Not many people expect you to play football up there. I had to come to camps down in the lower 48 to really get noticed, talent-wise.” As Hooks found out when he came to Washington, not that many people know much about Alaska at all. “It’s funny, you come down here in the lower 48, and people don’t realize how big Alaska is,” says the receiver, who will play an important role in the Husky offense this season. “A lot of people think Texas is the biggest state. I give (current Husky tight end and Texas native) Kevin Ware a hard time about it, reminding him that Alaska is the biggest state. Luckily, in Tui, I’ve got another guy Wilbur Hooks, Jr. here at the UW from Alaska.” While he ultimately drew enough attention to earn a college scholarship, Hooks often finds his spotlight outshined at Washington.

Strangely enough, it was football that served to jump-start Hooks’ singing career. “When I was a sophomore in high school, there were three other guys I played football with, and they sang,” he says. “They always wanted me to get in their group. I liked to sing, but I just sang on my own, though I eventually just joined the other guys. We formed a little a cappella group, singing the Star Spangled Banner before games and stuff like that.” It was while singing the national anthem at a local volleyball game that Hooks and his part- ners caught the attention of a record producer in the crowd. The producer invited the group to enter a talent show, with the winner slated as the opening act at an upcoming concert featur- ing platinum recording artist Coolio. “This was back in 1996 when Coolio had huge hit songs like ‘Fantastic Voyage’ and ‘Gangsta’s Paradise,’” Hooks recalls. “We won the talent show, opened for Coolio, and some other producers saw us perform. It ended up being our big break. All of a sudden we started putting songs onto CD tracks. We opened for Boyz II Men and Montel Jordan when they each came to town, and actually toured throughout Alaska with the Quad City DJs.” Now a minor musical celebrity throughout his home state, Hooks is grateful to have been given the opportunity to share his music with others, and plans to return to singing once his football career is complete. “We probably were in the right place at the right time,” he says. “It came quickly. A lot of people aren’t that blessed to be able to start a group and put stuff on tracks, and be able open for groups like that. I plan on doing it more when I finish up here. The NCAA won’t let me do anything right now which I can profit from, so I’m looking forward to getting back to music.” Wherever he may go in life, be it on the gridiron or in the recording studio, Hooks knows he will live up to the task. “One thing I can say of my career is that, when it counted — when the time came to make a play — I was there,” he says. That’s the can-do attitude that will have Hooks’ acrobatic 22-yard touchdown reception against San Jose State marked Husky fans singing Hooks’ praises for years to the first of 34 consecutive points scored by the Huskies. come.

42 HUSKIES Gameday THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON A Proud Tradition of Academic Excellence

ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its Fresearch, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con- tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni- versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys- tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro- fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich- ment. Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work. The magnificent architecture of the Washington campus is replete About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are state with fountains, flowers and greenery. residents, although instructional programs draw students from every region of the country and overseas. school graduating classes.

Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong eco- nomic impact on Washington and the . With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second- largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpa- tient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new busi- ness to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703 acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics loom to the west, while the western view includes downtown Seattle and Lake Union.
