Champ Taulealea is a mauling interior force with starting upside at Washington
In 2026, Champ Taulealea looks like a legit road-grader for the Huskies: a 6-5, 340-pound interior lineman who earned first-unit spring reps at right guard and drew praise for his power, wide base, strong hands, and nasty finishing style. He played sparingly in 2025 to preserve eligibility, but when he saw the field he was already trusted in meaningful spots, which is a good sign for his trajectory. If you want an OL who can move people and bring edge, he fits.
