A whole lot of Huskies performed in front of the fans at Washington’s Spring Preview on Saturday.
D.J. Beavers wasn’t one of them.
A UW spokesperson confirmed following the scrimmage that Beavers — a 6-foot-1, 211-pound senior linebacker from Culver City, Calif. — will medically retire due to an accumulation of injuries. Beavers will graduate from UW after completing one final course this fall.
Most recently, the former Crespi Carmelite High School standout suffered a leg injury during Washington’s Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State on New Year’s Day. He played in just five games in each of his final two seasons because of injuries and finished with 69 tackles, two forced fumbles, two tackles for loss and an interception in his UW career.
