He signed with the Indiana Hoosiers a week later. He flashed during his brief stint with them, but injuries derailed his career in the Big Ten. Penix entered the transfer portal and joined Washington two years ago. He’s gone on to have a prolific career with the Huskies, and in 2023 finished as the Heisman Trophy runner-up and has his team poised for an undefeated run, barring they can defeat Michigan in the national championship game. Penix has thrown for 4,648 yards and 35 touchdowns thus far this season with one game left in his college career.
