2026 5⭐️ SF Christopher Washington Jr. is one to watch closely as the Tigers build out their next elite wing rotation
At 6-7, 175, Washington brings a versatile blend of length, fluidity, and shooting touch that fits Auburn’s preferred mold at the 3. His current 247 Composite rating (0.9912) ranks him No. 22 nationally, No. 9 at SF, and the top player in Tennessee. A key feature of his game is how well he scores from multiple levels without dominating the ball; a valuable trait for spacing and motion offenses like Bruce's
What makes Washington such a clean fit:
• Long frame that projects defensively across 2–4
• Polished handle for his size, useful in transition and ISO spacing
• High release on his jumper, especially dangerous off the catch
• Poise as a cutter and secondary passer
He’s also a high-character recruit out of Providence Christian (Murfreesboro, TN), where his maturity and consistent motor have drawn early praise. Auburn has recruited Tennessee well under Pearl, and the staff sees Washington as a cultural and schematic match. If the Tigers can establish traction early, this could develop into a real battleground recruitment with SEC and ACC powers circling
