Still a Chippewa Name to Watch, but with Limited On-Field Snapshot
In the 2026 Central Michigan roster, Joshua Washington is listed as a 6-foot-7, 225-pound redshirt freshman defensive lineman from Sterling Heights, Michigan, which gives him unusual length and intriguing upside for the front line[1]. The catch: the public roster notes no available statistics, so there isn’t a verified current production profile to lean on yet[1]. What stands out is the frame—big-time reach, developmental pass-rush potential, and the kind of size that can become disruptive if he adds strength and plays with consistent leverage. If you’re looking for a finished product, he’s not that yet; if you’re hunting a long-term project with tools, he’s worth a peek[1].
