While UW limps into the bye week on a three-game losing streak, there was some good personnel news this week. Jordan Murchison, a defensive back who's anger issues landed him in jail for a short time when he had a pair of violence related charges against him this year, has returned to the Husky football program. Murchison is now practicing with the team, and should be eligible to play in UW's next game at ASU on 10/13.
According to Molly at the P-I:
Murchison agreed to a stipulated order of continuance, or a "deferred prosecution," to wrap up a domestic violence charge from June. If Murchison adheres for two years to guidelines set forth in the order, the charge will be dismissed. Those guidelines typically involve counseling and the mandate to avoid additional trouble with the law. Failure to comply usually leads to a harsher sentence than what would have originally been levied.
Murchison is a welcome sight for the UW defense, and once he can shake off the rust, should be right back into the mix at cornerback. Newcomer Byron Davenport has battled some nagging hamstring issues, and while he has finally been able to play the last few weeks, they really need help back there. UW has been considered thin at corner since spring ball, and Husky fans are certainly hopeful that Murchison can provide that much-needed depth. Let's hope for Murchison's sake that he keeps his anger under control. Tyrone Willingham's reputation is great in regards to having solid citizens on his team, so he must be satisfied with Murchison's situation to the point that he's willing to let him back on the team.

They were counting on several new faces to be in the mix for playing time this season, so the last thing UW needs right now is to lose some talent in the secondary, but that's exactly what happened yesterday.
