Summary
Drew Azzopardi, the towering 6’7”, 320-pound right tackle for Washington, is entering his third season as the Huskies’ most experienced player — and he’s ready to lead. Transferring from San Diego State, he stayed loyal through coaching changes and has started 24 games, becoming a cornerstone of the offensive line. Known for his intensity — even throwing a punch during spring practice — he’s not rushing to the NFL, valuing his bond with teammates and coaches. Once overlooked in high school, he now calls his Washington journey the best decision of his life, having started every game since arriving except for a couple sidelined by injury. With his brother’s football legacy and his own relentless drive, Azzopardi is back, fit and focused, aiming to propel the Huskies back into national contention.
