veteran Huskies lineman with toughness and versatility
Colin Tanigawa has been a steady, team-first presence on Washington’s offensive line, valued for his experience, toughness, and ability to play multiple interior spots. In 2012, he started games at left guard before a season-ending knee injury, and by 2014 he was being described as a leader of the Huskies’ offensive line and making a move to center, a sign of his football IQ and adaptability. He’s the kind of lineman coaches trust when they want reliability, not flash — a good fit for a program that prizes communication, grit, and depth up front.
