-> Leadership has widely come from returning players who have gone through it all with the Huskies since the start of last season, some even longer. Players such as Carter and linebacker Jackson Mitchell stuck it out after former head coach Randy Edsall resigned following one of those close games, a 38-28 loss to Holy Cross in Week Two when the Huskies were down by three points entering the final quarter. They could’ve transferred, but instead trusted the new regime.

And, despite the image overhaul and the slew of new names on the roster, they continue to lead.

“There are defined leaders on this team who are leaders because of what they do, the way they act and conduct themselves and the standard they hold themselves to,” Mora said. “Leadership is earned. Respect is earned.” <-
