Several former Washington Huskies players returned to Montlake over the weekend to honor late teammate Voi Tunuufi during the first half of the Huskies' 16-14 win over Utah State. Tunuufi, a defensive lineman who played for the Huskies from 2021-24, passed away in a car accident on May 4. The tribute took place during a television timeout in the first quarter, with Tunuufi's parents having a detailed mural created in their basement, which other former UW football players have shared on social media. The players paid respects to Tunuufi after the Huskies secured a 47-23 victory over Portland State.
