veteran rush linebacker with big-play juice
Leandre Washington profiles as a rugged, athletic veteran who was described by WVU as a “big hitter” with “big-play capability” and strong spring momentum as the top veteran at his spot. In the 2003 season, he backed up James Davis at rush backer and made 37 tackles, including a team-high 14 tackles at Temple and a tackle for loss against Miami; he also showed range and special-teams value. The fit? A defender who brings energy, edge-setting, and downhill aggression—less splashy star power, more reliable tone-setter with a nose for the football.
