2019 Inductee
Running back Jacque Robinson was the spark that led the University of Washington to a 28–0 victory over Iowa in the 1982 Rose Bowl Game. That day, Robinson became the first freshman to be named MVP in the Rose Bowl Game after he racked up 142 yards rushing on 20 carries and scored a pair of touchdowns. The Huskies’ running back started the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He then
broke open the game in the fourth quarter with a 34-yard touchdown scamper that gave Washington a 21–0 lead.
Robinson went on to win Orange Bowl MVP honors in 1985. He is one of just four players to be named the MVP in both the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl Games. Robinson was selected in the eighth round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 2016 as part of the 1984 Washington football team.
