Washington linebacker Shaq Thompson is second on the team in tackles.He is also sixth on the team in rushing, a figure that will likely rise in the coming Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey games, according to the Huskies' coaching staff."We've had some succe s with putting (Thompson) in there," running backs coach . "He's always definitely in the game plan I think. He's one of those guys that has been able to become productive in our room on the offensive side of the ball. And like Ed Davis Jersey any team around the country, we're always trying to get our best players on the field as much as you can."Senior running back Je se Callier tore his Achilles against Georgia State and was lost for the rest of the season, so Thompson could see an increase in his number of carries going forward just because fewer players are vying for snaps.Lavon Coleman leads the team in rushing, but Chris Petersen's squad features a bit of a tailback-by-committee. In addition to Coleman's workload increasing, Dwayne Washington and Jake Layman Jersey Deontae Cooper will see additional carries, but they don't have the abilities Thompson does with the ball in his hands.Thompson, a junior linebacker, actually averages 13.7 yards per carry -- he has just six of them, however -- and already has a rushing touchdown. Given the fact that Washington opens Pac-12 play with a home date against a tough Stanford defense on Saturday, perhaps Thompson will be counted on to be in the mix as early as this week. Juancho Hernangomez Jersey "I told these guys in the spring time, 'This is a long football season and the running back position is a very physical position.' Things happen," added Bhonapha. "So all Juan Hernangomez Jersey these guys have to be ready to go."Thompson isn't the most famous two-way player in his own conference (UCLA linebacker/running back Myles Jack takes that title), but he is somebody teams will probably have to account for on both sides of the ball going forward.You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at .
