Connor O'Brien brings size, versatility, and veteran edge to Washington’s linebacker room
Connor O'Brien, a 6-foot-3, 224-pound linebacker at Washington, has been a steady, experienced presence with a track record that includes 67 career tackles, 5 sacks, and a pick-six in his Huskies career. His calling card is versatility—he has played both safety and linebacker, and he’s shown he can contribute as a pass rusher and in coverage. He’s the kind of player coaches trust for consistency, toughness, and football IQ more than flashy stat lines, which makes him a solid fit for teams that value reliable, scheme-flexible defenders.
