VCU’s versatile forward brings steals, boards, and efficient scoring to the floor
In the 2025-26 season, Tawanda Washington has been a steady two-way piece for VCU: 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 26.3 minutes per game, with a strong 50% field-goal rate. The real selling point is the defense-and-hustle package—he ranks among the better steal-producing forwards and gives the Rams a tough, active presence that doesn’t need touches to matter. If you want a wing/forward who competes every possession, fits a hard-nosed system, and quietly tilts games, this is your kind of player.
