Warren Moon is doling out some seriously high praise on Michael Penix Jr. … telling TMZ Sports the Washington quarterback straight up “throws as pretty a ball as mine!”

The former Huskies signal-caller didn’t stop the compliments there, however … telling us he believes the current UDub QB1 could end up being the No. 2-ranked quarterback behind Caleb Williams when the 2024 NFL Draft officially rolls around in April.

“I watch him throw,” Moon said, “and I’ve watched a lot of quarterbacks throw the football — and this guy throws as pretty a ball as mine.”

“I think once he goes through the scouting process,” the Hall of Famer added, “and goes through the combine and people watch him throw and they watch him throw in his Pro Day coming up, I think he’s going to really dazzle people with his arm talent.”

Moon says that while Penix Jr. put all of that on display against Texas in the Sugar Bowl — he really expects the college football world to take note when the Huskies kick off against Michigan for the national championship later Monday night.

Moon explained … he believes that due to UDub’s location as well as the Pac-12’s TV deal, not many are aware of what the quarterback is really capable of.

“He’s had a tremendous two years at the University of Washington,” Moon said.

Kickoff for the natty is slated for 4:30 PM … and it’s clear Moon believes his alma mater will walk away from it all with another trophy for its case in Seattle.

“You gain your respect by doing the work on the field,” Moon said. “I think the Huskies will do that Monday night.”
