Quaid Carr is flashing RB1 upside at Washington—then health hit the brakes
In the 2026 season, Quaid Carr opened as Washington’s starting running back and showed burst in the opener, finishing with 28 rushing yards on five carries and a 4-yard catch against Washington State; in the 2025 season, he logged 14 rushing yards and 5 receiving yards across limited work. His best differentiators are speed, versatility, and kick-return value, and coaches have viewed him as a potential breakout piece. The catch: he is currently dealing with an upper-body injury that is expected to sideline him for an extended period, so his fit is strong for teams wanting an explosive, multi-use back—if the medicals cooperate.
