dominant interior force, but not a Washington Husky anymore
Vita Vea is a 31-year-old NFL defensive tackle, not a current Washington Huskies player, and in 2026 he’s still valued for wrecking run games with rare size, power, and pocket-collapsing force. In 2025, he played 17 games for Tampa Bay with 34 total tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 1 forced fumble, while his 2026 offseason included a hold-in, trade request, and then a one-year, $30 million extension. If you want a tone-setter who can anchor the middle and make offenses rethink everything, he’s your guy; if you need a college athlete, this isn’t the right profile.
