Summary
Is the Washington Huskies defense getting overlooked in Big Ten preseason rankings? Can safety Alex McLaughlin and defensive tackle Elinneus Davis become the conference’s breakout stars? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau unpack McLaughlin’s elite tackling and versatility, alongside Davis’s disruptive potential, which could spark defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' unit and make it one of the best in college football in 2026. The hosts spotlight rising standouts like John Mills and Dezmen Roebuck, while dissecting Athlon and Lindy’s preseason all-conference selections, and explain why the Huskies’ linebacker corps, led by Xe'ree Alexander, Jacob Manu, and Zaydrius Rainey-Sale, could anchor one of the nation’s best units.
