Hector Saavedra brings size, production, and early-stage upside to Weber State’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, Saavedra posted 39 tackles and 1 tackle for loss for Weber State, a solid early indicator of a freshman DT who already plays with active hands and enough motor to stay involved snap after snap. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, he has the frame to hold up inside, and local preview coverage has already put him on the radar as a useful piece in the Wildcats’ front. If you want a young interior defender with room to grow into a disruptive, dependable Big Sky lineman, he’s worth a closer look.
