Kaden Beatty is emerging as a disruptive DT with starter upside for WSU
In the 2025 season, Kaden Beatty played in seven games for Washington State, logging seven tackles, a shared sack, and a pass breakup before missing the bowl game with an injury; he also enters 2026 projected as a starter on the Cougars’ defensive front. Beatty’s calling card is effort and versatility inside: he’s a compact 6-foot, 282-pound tackle with a history of producing big numbers in high school, and he’s been described as a strong contender for snaps after earning camp buzz. If you want an active, physical interior defender who can flash disruption when healthy, he’s a name worth caring about.
