2026 games, tackles for loss per game. W and L: the team’s results.
4 stories in the last 60 days, from 3 outlets.
As of
Washington's 2025 was a study in a rare combination: 33 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a team-high eight pass breakups that led all FBS defensive linemen — batted balls and disruption from a 6-3, 330-pound frame that ESPN called "exceptionally quick at 330 pounds." He earned third-team All-Big Ten and CBS All-America honors and is drawing first-round 2027 buzz. The story is collective, too: he headlines an Oregon front where all four starters returned despite being draft-eligible. The forward stakes are a first-round interior season anchoring what should be one of the nation's best defensive lines. Size-and-quickness like this at the position is the kind of thing offenses simply can't scheme away.
So far in 2026 Washington has 16 tackles, a half tackle for loss, three pass breakups and a quarterback hurry.
Update (Oct. 28, 2026): Oregon lost 21-10 at Illinois as a 10.5-point favorite on Oct. 24 and is 4-3. Washington has 21 tackles, a half tackle for loss and five pass breakups through seven games, with a pass breakup at Illinois.

Play style
Washington is the rare nose-sized tackle who plays with edge-rusher quickness. The signature stat says it all — eight pass breakups, most of any FBS defensive lineman — because to bat down that many balls you have to win your gap fast and get your hands up, not just occupy blockers. At 6-3, 330 he has the anchor to hold the point against the run and, by every account, unusual get-off for his size. He's a disruptive interior presence rather than a pure two-gap plugger: quick into the backfield, active with his hands, and impossible to single-block one-on-one. On a loaded line, he's the piece that makes everyone else's job easier.

What the box score actually says
23 tackles. 6 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 0.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
