Azeem Victor has indeed played his final down for the Washington Huskies.
According to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, Victor will not play in the Dec. 30 Fiesta Bowl. In fact, Jude tweeted, the linebacker has already signed with an NFL agent and has been working out in preparation for the April draft for several weeks now.
Victor was indefinitely suspended in mid-November after being arrested for driving under the influence. The senior was also suspended for the 2017 opener against Rutgers earlier this year.
A 2016 All-Pac-12 performer, Victor started the Huskies’ first 10 games before being lost for the season with a broken leg, missing Washington’s win in the Pac-12 championship game win and College Football Playoff loss to Alabama. Still, Victor finished third on the team with 67 tackles to go with three TFLs, one pass defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Victor entered the 2017 season as a preseason All-American. Playing in nine games this year, Victor was credited with 30 tackles, three pass breakups, two sacks and two tackles for loss.
