4-Star SF Chris Washington Talks Florida State; Updates Recruitment

Chris Washington is the No. 36 ranked player in the recent 2026 On3 150 update. The 6-foot-8 wing at Sagemont (FL) The Villages Charter is the No. 10 small forward in the 2026 On3 Industry Ranking.

I’m basically a big guard,” Washington told On3. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger since last season and my shot has gotten better. I watch a lot of KD (Kevin Durant), he is my favorite player; I like his pull-up, it’s just clean. I try to put that into my game, because I’m 6-foot-8, and I’m long, so I know it would make my game even more effective if I hit those.”

On3 caught up with four-star Chris Washington after a recent live viewing to talk about the early stages of his recruitment.

“Right now, Florida State is recruiting me, I went on an unofficial there,” Washington said.”

Washington Dives Into Florida State

Florida State: “We talk with Coach Stan (Jones) over there. When I went on my visit, Coach (Leonard) Hamilton let me know how much I fit that system and how they play. He said I reminded him of Scottie Barnes, and he kept saying how many big wings that played there. They put a lot of big wings in the league.

“Their facilities, the gym impressed me. I didn’t think it was that big. Their gym is huge.”

Washington Talks Recruitment

“We’ve talked to Texas A&M, Florida, Oklahoma State, USF, Baylor, and some other schools too,” Washington said. “It’s a lot of them that has just given me interest, you know.”

“I want to go somewhere that feels like a family,” Washington said. “So, I’m going to be looking at that. And I want to play early, so I want to go somewhere I’ll play right away. How they play will be big for me, I like playing fast and playing on the wing. Location won’t matter to me as long as it feels like family there.”
