College Career

Washington played at Dartmouth from 2021 through 2024 before joining Stanford as a graduate transfer for the 2025 season.

Path to the NFL

After his 2025 graduate season at Stanford, Washington entered the 2026 NFL cycle and signed with Seattle as an undrafted cornerback.

The Seahawks’ signing announcement identified Washington as an undrafted player from Stanford, so no draft round or overall pick applies. Seattle listed him as a cornerback on its 2026 rookie minicamp roster.

He participated in rookie minicamp before signing with Seattle on August 5, 2026.

Career Accomplishments

Washington’s principal college honors came in 2024, when he earned First Team All-Ivy League and Division I All-New England recognition.

His 2024 Dartmouth season also included a blocked Fordham field goal returned for a touchdown and his first career interception, a 58-yard touchdown return against Brown.

Playing Style

Washington’s college profile centered on cornerback coverage disruption, with additional value shown through Dartmouth special-teams plays.

He recorded nine pass breakups in 2023 and finished his Dartmouth career with 20 passes defended, while Stanford listed two additional defended passes in 2025. His collegiate role was defensive back at Dartmouth and specifically cornerback at Stanford.

At Dartmouth, he blocked two kicks, including the Fordham field goal returned for a touchdown. His high-school positions included quarterback, wide receiver and cornerback, but that earlier versatility does not establish multiple-position play professionally.

Legacy

Washington’s strongest documented college significance is his 2024 Dartmouth honors and production before a graduate-transfer season at Stanford.

His Dartmouth career combined coverage production with special-teams impact, culminating in First Team All-Ivy League and Division I All-New England recognition in 2024.

The progression from four seasons at Dartmouth to Stanford and an opportunity with Seattle provides the clearest documented arc of his football career to date.
