Big-bodied WSU lineman whose next step is health and reps
Bakken is a 6-5, 305-pound redshirt sophomore at Washington State who flashed real value as a high-school tackle and has already earned game action at WSU, but his 2025 season was cut short by injury after he appeared in one game. He fits the profile of a developmental line piece: size, length, and early experience, with a background anchoring a sack-free high-school front and helping a rushing attack that averaged 6.4 yards per carry. The big question is durability and whether he can turn that frame into consistent, reliable college snaps.
