Jacob Bandes brings veteran juice and run-stopping grit to the Huskies’ front
In the 2024 season, Jacob Bandes gave Washington a durable, high-motor interior presence, playing in all 13 games and starting 12 while posting 34 tackles and his first career interception. The 6-foot-3, 307-pound senior is valued less for splashy sack numbers and more for dependable snap-to-snap effort, physical leverage, and the kind of steady, gritty play that coaches love in the middle. He has been a tone-setter and a trusted rotation piece for multiple years, making him a fit for teams that want toughness, experience, and a blue-collar DL who does the dirty work.
