Akron’s record-setting dual-threat QB still pops as a program-defining name
Butchie Washington was a dynamic Akron quarterback in the 1999–2000 seasons, piling up 4,215 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, and 4,843 career yards of total offense while also adding 134 rushing attempts for 139 yards and 2 scores[3][7]. In the 2000 season, he was already viewed as one of the MAC’s bright young talents and a preseason All-MAC selection, with Akron noting he had become the school’s all-time leader in passing, completions, and total offense[4][8]. The clear takeaway: he was a tough, high-usage, playmaking QB who could carry an offense and command respect, but the available data describes a late-1990s/2000 player—not a current 2026 Akron roster quarterback[10][12].
