Experienced, physical linebacker with special-teams value
Washington is a veteran Utah State linebacker who brings size, consistency, and a proven history of making steady, assignment-sound plays rather than piling up flashy stat lines; at Purdue, he appeared in 36 games from 2020-2023 and finished with 42 total tackles, including 21 in 2023 and an interception in 2022. His differentiators are durability, coachability, and a hard-nosed, team-first profile that shows up in multiple games and spots, making him a sensible fit for a defense that values reliability, depth, and special-teams toughness.
