Chris Washburn brings veteran forward grit to TCU
Chris Washburn is a 6-foot-8 senior forward who gave TCU steady, low-drama frontcourt minutes and flashed efficient scoring bursts in the 2016-17 season, including 15 points and 9 rebounds in 11 minutes against Texas Southern. He fits as a tough, experienced role player: physical on the glass, capable of scoring inside, and reliable enough to settle a game when the Frogs need grown-man minutes. The big differentiator is maturity—Washburn was part of TCU’s senior leadership core and helped anchor a winning culture, which matters just as much as box-score pop.
