takeaway machine and tone-setter for Washington’s defense
In the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Bierria was a disruptive, high-motor linebacker for Washington, earning second-team All-Pac-12 honors both years and leading the FBS with five fumble recoveries in 2016[1][5]. He finished his Huskies career with 242 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and eight fumble recoveries, which tells you exactly why coaches loved him: he played fast, hunted the ball, and changed possessions[1][5]. The best fit is a defense that values instinct, effort, and turnover creation over pure flash.
