Jaxson Kirkland finishes his career with the Washington Huskies as one of the most accomplished offensive linemen in program history.
He entered as the son of Washington legend Dean Kirkland, a three-year starter, a team captain, and a first-team all-conference offensive lineman back when it was still the Pac-10. The shoes were large for Jaxson to fill, but he did exactly that. He became a five-year starter, with experience at left tackle and both guard spots. A three-time first-team All-Pac-12 member, there are few players in program history with as accomplished of resumes.
Kirkland spoke with Windy City Gridiron about his preparation for the 2023 NFL Draft, his inside-outside versatility, the biggest animal he’s ever hunted, and more.
