VMI’s John Washington: a rugged, high-motor edge with proven playmaking flashes
John Washington has the kind of blue-collar edge presence VMI has long valued: 6-2, 255, disciplined, dependable, and built for the trenches. In his VMI years, he was described as a consistent performer with two-plus years of starting experience, a “big play capable competitor,” and a conditioning standout who won the “Super Iron Keydet” award—good signs for a player whose value goes beyond box-score sacks. He also showed rare touchdown-level disruption with a 70-yard fumble return score, so if your team wants effort, toughness, and disruptive upside, he’s the type to keep on speed dial.
