Washington was first team All-District as a junior despite missing 4 games due to injury.

Here he is showing off his agility at the Next Level Athlete Texas Top 100 Showcase in January:

i dunno, not blown away by his highlights. looks like he has pretty poor balance. that said, with the way recruiting is going, he could probably be our best pick up next year. :smile2:

what position are they recruiting him to play.

what position are they recruiting him to play.

AFAIK, he's being recruited as an athlete.

yes I know how that but what position do they want him to play? Fullback?

 

[Buffnik]

Athlete.

Meaning that they don't know what position he'll end up playing, but the guy is a football player.

If I had to guess, Washington would get his first shot at Tailback.

Anyone who misses 1/3 of his games and still makes 1st Team All District in Texas and also runs a sub-4.5 forty is a football player. They'll find a place for him (RB, slot WR, CB or S) and he will compete to be a returner too.

Left athlete.

Washington's offer list is exploding. Every time he goes to a camp, he leaves with offers.
