Washington’s rookie kicker comes in polished, proven, and quietly dangerous
CJ Wallace arrives at Washington in the 2026 season as a highly regarded freshman kicker with top-tier recruiting buzz and a strong prep resume from St. John Bosco, where he made 54 PATs and 3 field goals in 2025 after 52 PATs and 5 field goals in 2024. He was ranked among the nation’s better kick prospects, including No. 11 by On3, No. 15 by ESPN, and No. 16 by 247Sports, while Chris Sailer Kicking had him as a 4.5-star, top-four kicker type. The fit is obvious: dependable leg, high-level background, and enough upside to push for immediate impact.
