Washington's Linebacker Room Just Got a Major Upgrade for Spring Ball
The Huskies wrapped up their bowl season back in December with a win over Boise State in the Bucked Up LA Bowl, and now spring football is almost here. Come March 31st, the team hits the field for the first of 15 spring practices, leading up to the Dawgs After Dark spring game on May 1st. It's go time in Seattle.
Spring Roster Overhaul
Three months have passed since that bowl win, and the roster has shifted big time. Players have left through the transfer portal, graduated, or declared early for the NFL. But that's only part of the story. The Huskies have also brought in a solid group of transfer portal pickups and a highly-rated recruiting class that enrolled just in time for spring ball to kick off. That's the kind of energy that gets fans excited heading into the offseason.
Linebackers Are Locked and Loaded
Here's the really good news for UW fans: the linebacker room is stacked and returning basically all of the top guys from last year's squad. That continuity matters, especially when you're trying to build on what worked in 2025. This isn't a group that needs to figure things out. They know the system, they know each other, and they're ready to go deeper into spring with something to prove.
With 15 practices on the schedule leading into the spring game, the Huskies will have plenty of time to work on fundamentals and game planning. The linebacker room should be one of the bright spots for Washington as they prepare for the season ahead. Continuity breeds confidence, and this group has both.
