Long, rangy freshman CB with special-teams value
Ethan Washington is a 2026 freshman cornerback for Furman who already stands out for his 6-foot-3 frame, athletic movement, and early role on special teams and defense. In Furman’s 2026 opener, he logged 1 tackle, and the Paladins’ preseason staff praised his unusual cornerback body type, speed, and intelligence. His profile suggests a developmental upside play: big boundary size, competitiveness, and a track background, though he is still early in his college career and has yet to pile up impact coverage stats.
