SEATTLE — The Washington Huskies football team will conclude its spring football schedule at 6:30 p.m. PT on Friday at Husky Stadium in Seattle. And the Huskies hosted their last practice open to the media Tuesday at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

Washington's final open practice off the spring had highlight moments for both sides of the football and was a solid showing before the spring game Friday.

Here's several notes and takeaways from Tuesday's practice:

The Huskies' linebacker room is arguably the most experienced unit on the team. Given the two-linebacker defense on the team, there are limited spots on the defense available for the veterans.

However, the linebacker room isn't approaching the lack of spots on the defense as a bad thing. Instead, it's provided the veterans an opportunity to stay healthy and fresh while rotating in.

And the linebacker room has benefited from the fresh legs. On Tuesday, senior linebacker Jacob Manu forced a fumble in 11-on-11 drills against junior tight end Decker DeGraaf despite the practice not being full speed.

"I feel like (defensive coordinator Ryan Walters) does a great job of (coaching play-making)," Manu said after practice Tuesday. "Also (outside linebackers coach Aaron Van Horn), we get his little punch-out slides that he gives to the whole team and (head coach Jedd Fisch), they give us slides and examples of how to punch out the ball and I feel like we did a good job of making plays."

The linebacker room is also expected to get another boost with the impending arrival of "Budda" Al-Uqdah, who's missed this spring due to a torn ACL.

"I feel like we do a good job of just loving each other," Manu said. "Loving our teammates. We want the best for each other no matter what."

Washington has had several players in-and-out of the wide receiver room this spring. Chris Lawson, Jordan Clay, Christian Moss and Bodpegn Miller have all missed various amount of times due to respective injuries.

In their absence, the Huskies haven't been able to have the same two receivers on the outside for first-team reps for the majority of spring.

The receiver that has received the most plays with the starters has been junior Rashid Williams.

Williams has received the most amount of one-on-targets against the team's starting cornerbacks, sophomore Dylan Robinson and senior Emmanuel Karnley, this spring. He's lost some but has won others, including several Tuesday.

Williams made a one-handed catch on the sidelines in one-on-one drills against freshman cornerback Jeron Jones.

In 11-on-11 drills, Williams scored on a wide-open touchdown on a defensive breakdown and made a tough touchdown catch in another 11-on-11 session against Robinson.

Four-star Class of 2026 edge rushing recruit Ramzak Fruean has been running with the backups for most of spring but has started to rotate in at defensive end with the starters.

Fruean got more first-team reps with the starters Tuesday and had a "tackle-for-loss" in 11-on-11 drills. He wasn't able to give more than a pop due to it not being full-contact, but Fruean already has a couple solid hits under his belt this spring.

"I think (Fruean) could play at all three levels," sophomore linebacker Zaydrius Rainey-Sale said Tuesday. "I think he could play safety, linebacker and edge if he wanted to. He's one of those ones."

-- Moss, a senior wideout who transferred from Kennesaw State, and Clay, a four-star '26 recruit, were both in uniform for Tuesday's practice but didn't compete in team drills. Clay has missed the last several practices with a finger injury and Moss has been out the entire spring.

-- Junior offensive lineman Kolt Dieterich, who transferred from Sam Houston, was also in uniform for position drills in Tuesday's practice. He didn't participate in team drills. He's been out for the spring, as well.
