This year, we’re starting an all-new tradition: the AC Barbeque Husky & Handsome Men of the Year, our new campaign to honor big men on the field, in the kitchen, and everywhere else they throw down. 

Nobody embodies this more than college football offensive linemen. That’s why, AC Barbeque is proud to name the 2023 University of Washington offensive line our inaugural Husky & Handsome Men of the Year. Voted the best offensive line in college football, Washington’s big men turned heads across the country by leading their team to a Pac-12 Championship, a Sugar Bowl victory, and the most wins in school history. 

“We wanted to celebrate these big dawgs for everything they do. These are the guys that don’t always get the spotlight, don’t always get the love, but they’re the unsung heroes of each and every game,” said Cedric The Entertainer.  “For anyone wondering what it means to be ‘Husky & Handsome,’ these young men are it. We’re so proud to have them representing the brand – no matter where they play on the field, they will always be Team Husky & Handsome.”
