Versatile Edge Rusher Making Impact After Transfer to Iowa State
The 6-2, 242-pound defensive end recorded 10 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, one sack, and one forced fumble across all 13 games in the 2025 season at Washington State[3]. A redshirt sophomore who developed from a preferred walk-on into a productive contributor, Janikowski brings high-character intangibles—he and his brother have raised over $300,000 for cancer families through the Heather Janikowski Foundation, honoring their late mother[3]. Now committed to Iowa State via transfer portal (January 2026)[4], he offers defensive versatility and proven work ethic for a program seeking depth at edge.
