Josh Wedel brings high-upside size and a versatile edge to Washington State’s defensive line
Wedel is a 6-foot-5, 264-pound redshirt freshman DE from Chaska, Minnesota, with a resume that points to leadership, toughness, and developmental upside rather than finished production. Washington State lists him as a defensive end, while recruiting coverage notes he was a team captain, two-time All-Conference pick, and Minnesota all-star invitee in high school. His best fit is a program that wants length, effort, and a player who can grow into multiple defensive-front roles; the key question is how quickly he turns that frame and competitiveness into consistent college-level disruption.
