Episode Details

Oregon’s defensive line is poised to dominate in 2026, led by a stacked trio of elite talent: A’Mauri Washington, Bear Alexander, and Matayo Ulagalelei—all former potential NFL draft picks who chose to return for one more year. Washington, a run-stopping force with a stellar PFF grade, anchors the interior alongside Alexander, a USC transfer with elite pass-rushing ability.

Together, they form a fearsome front that can stop the run and terrorize quarterbacks—proof Coach Lanning is building something special in Eugene.
