## Resource

Drew Azzopardi is rewriting his legacy as one of the Big Ten’s most improved offensive linemen, turning last year’s struggles into a breakout 2025 season with just one sack and fewer pressures. Standing at 6’7” and over 300 pounds, the transfer from San Diego State chose to return to Washington for another year — skipping the 2026 NFL draft — and is now projected as the 85th-best player on the 2027 board. With camp set to begin in August, Azzopardi is poised to anchor the offensive line and protect rising star QB Demond Williams Jr., who thrived last season thanks to the improved front. A key early test comes on October 3rd against USC — a win could signal a return to the dominant offense of 2022. If he keeps this trajectory, Azzopardi is on track to follow in the footsteps of elite Huskies linemen and hear his name called in the 2027 draft.
