From Taekwondo to Huskies | Washington Huskies Football News
Description
Victor Sanchez Hernandez, a redshirt freshman edge rusher for Washington, turned heads after missing ten spring practices due to injury—then dominated the next twelve, earning rave reviews from teammates. Born in the U.S. to Mexican parents and fluent in Spanish, he’s a former taekwondo champion with Olympic dreams, who switched to football in high school. A three-time national taekwondo medalist, he now trains to chase quarterbacks like he once chased gold medals. Impressing defensive-line coach Jason Kaufusi at summer camp, he earned a scholarship and is on track to become a starter by 2028—coincidentally, the Olympics. Still developing, he’s already a standout, with first-team all-league honors in high school and a bright future ahead.
