Ezaya Tokio brings a long, physical linebacker frame and real backfield disruption to Washington
In the 2025 season, Ezaya Tokio flashed as a disruptive defender at Oceanside High, posting 76 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, and an interception, which explains why Washington wanted him in the room[1][2]. At 6-foot-4 and about 230 pounds, he stands out for length, emotion, and physicality, with analysts noting he plays well in tight spaces despite looking like an edge rusher; he was also viewed as a three-star recruit and among the nation’s top linebackers in his class[1][3][4].
