Jax Madden is a young, rising edge for Eastern Washington
In the 2026 season, Jax Madden is listed as a freshman defensive end for Eastern Washington at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, giving the Eagles a long, lean edge prospect with room to grow into his frame.[1][3] He looks like a developmental fit rather than a finished product: the appeal is his size, upside, and freshman status, while the current challenge is proving he can turn that athletic profile into consistent production against FCS competition.[1][3][5] If a team wants an energetic project with long-term pass-rush upside, he’s the kind of player worth keeping on the radar.[1][3][5]
