The Legacy of Joe Jarzynka- 45 year old Joe Jarzynka was found dead Sunday morning along the Sol Duc River in the Olympic Peninsula from an apparent fishing accident. A walk on from 95-98, the 5-foot-7, 175-pound Jarzynka was a “fearless man on special teams’’ who “refuses to fair catch any punt.’’ In 1998 he was a first team All-Pac-10 selection as an all-purpose player, not just for his return abilities but also for his kicking.

Tell me your memories of the fearless Joe Jarzynka.

How should fans remember Joe?

Should the Huskies do anything this season to commemorate Joe?
