Big-frame, battle-tested Huskies tackle with a starter’s edge
In the 2026 season, Ben Riva is listed by Washington as a senior offensive lineman at 6-foot-7 and 313 pounds, and his profile screams length, power, and experience in a body built for the trenches[1]. He’s a good fit for teams that value a seasoned, physical tackle who has already lived through injury setbacks and come back fighting; that kind of resilience usually shows up in pass protection poise and run-game nastiness. Analysts have also described him as a capable Pac-12 lineman, which fits the mold of a steady, reliable interior/edge-piece mover rather than a flashy stat-sheet star[5][14].
