Washington will have a couple of holes to fill at linebacker in 2024 with the departures of Edefuan Ulofoshio and Ralen Goforth. Buchanan could fill either of their spots allowing the younger linebackers, true freshmen Jordan Whitney and Deven Bryant to develop.
In the last two games of the regular season, Carson Bruener has notched 14 tackles while 2-year starter Alphonzo Tuputala chipped in 10 stops and a sack of Washington State QB Cam Ward.
