Big-bodied WSU run plugger who carved out a brief but useful role
In the 2006 season, Bryan Tarkington appeared in 3 games for Washington State and totaled 3 tackles (2 solo, 1 assist), with his impact coming more from holding the middle than filling a stat sheet.[1][3][4] At 6-foot-4 and around 304-320 pounds, he was valued as a wide, space-eating defensive tackle who could absorb double teams and steady the front when injuries hit the Cougars’ DT room.[6][10][11] He looks like a fit for a team that needs pure interior mass and short-yardage toughness, not flashy pass-rush production.[8][10]
