Russell Davis II adds to Washington's already deep pass rush rotation
The Washington Huskies added an "unbelievable pass rusher" back to the rotation in Russell Davis II.
Before Sunday's Apple Cup, Russell Davis II, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound pass rusher for the Washington Huskies, made his return to action within the first few moments of the game. The 2024 season for Davis had been cut short due to an arm injury, and his 2025 campaign was abruptly halted by a torn patellar tendon. However, his first sack of the season, achieved on his very first snap, marked a significant comeback for the former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.
Coach Jedd Fisch expressed his delight at seeing Davis back on the field, highlighting that one out of every 12 plays Davis has participated in for Washington has resulted in a sack. The addition of Davis to the Huskies' pass rush rotation bolsters the team's depth at the edge, joining veterans Jacob Lane, Ramzak Fruean, Logan George, and Isaiah Ward. Coaches and teammates alike have praised Davis for his tenacity, resilience, and consistent performance despite the challenges he has faced.
