Jesse Ewell Jr. brings walk-on grit and special-teams upside to Washington
Jesse Ewell Jr. is a first-year linebacker for Washington listed at 6-2, 210 pounds, and as of the 2026 season he has not yet seen game action for the Huskies.[1][2] His appeal is more about trajectory than box-score production: he arrived after serving as a team captain at San Clemente, has experience on both sides of the ball, and was described as a physical edge player who can help against the run and on special teams.[1] If you want a tough, versatile depth piece with upside, he’s the kind of smart bet coaches love.
