About Bush Jr. Updated Aug 1, 2026

TJ Bush Jr. brings proven pass-rush production and high-end versatility off the edge

Bush is an established impact defender whose game is built on disruptive backfield production: in the 2025 season at Cal, he started all 13 games and led the team with 5.5 sacks while finishing second with 11.5 tackles for loss and adding four quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. He entered Cal after a strong two-year run at Liberty, where he earned Freshman All-America honors in 2023 and followed with 5.5 sacks in 2024, showing consistent pressure creation, toughness, and the ability to play multiple front roles. He looks like a good fit for a defense that values speed-to-power, effort, and a reliable edge presence.[3][7][10][14]
