Grant Washington flashes early juice as Minnesota’s next-run-power option
Washington made an immediate first impression at Minnesota, bursting for 126 rushing yards on 20 carries in his collegiate debut against Northwestern State in 2025, which points to a downhill back with real workload potential. He is listed at 5'10", 200 pounds, and his EA Sports College Football 26 rating of 78 suggests he is already viewed as a solid, playable contributor rather than a developmental flyer. The key question for a fit is whether he can turn that debut burst into consistent production against Big Ten fronts, but the early signs are that he brings toughness, compact power, and enough burst to merit attention.
