Washington had 101 tackles with 14 sacks as a sophomore, earning 2nd Team All-State in Ohio.

Total stud prospect. The big question is whether he chooses football over basketball, because he's pretty highly regarded as a Power Forward prospect.

*Also, I listed an Ohio State offer above since Rivals had it but it's in question. Washington doesn't list a Buckeye offer on his ScoutingOhio profile.

that kid is a JR?!?!?!?!? :jawdrop:

 

[Buffnik]

bcs,

I know, man. If someone would have shown me that photo and said it was taken at Broncos rookie camp I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Big time prospect.

 

[BuffLuke80]

No doubt he passes the eyeball test, good lord.

 

[buff4bcs1985]

so what are our odds...

 

[Buffnik]

Would be a surprise if he doesn't sign with Ohio State.

 

[Burrito]

Early playing time appears to be available.

Think Embo can sell him on the vision? Maybe if the sweater vest gets fired he would leave home for some higher altitude

 

[Duff Man]

No shot.

 

[Shldr2Shldr]

No shot.

And if the NCAA discovers some more infractions and gives them the death penalty?

 

[lawdogg]

Ohio State commit per scout.

“It’s the education part,” Washington continued. “I know all these schools athletically can offer me the same thing. The academic support at Ohio State, there is no way you can fail. Even if you’re giving minimal effort there is no way you can fail.”

:lol:

 

[Burrito]

smrt.

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

I wonder if the ncaa heard that comment? Seems like an invitation to put a bullseye over the school's name.

Oh wait, nm. He committed to blowhio state -- official employer of the ncaa.

Judging by his interview the tOSU staff is hinting to him that Urban Meyer will be their next coach. I find it odd since he is not officially hired and his teammate committed to Oregon.

Kid will be a super star based on the tape.

I think this man is Greg Oden's older brother.

isnt that illegal?

 

[CanadianDuck]

isnt that illegal?

Well it is tOSU so even if it is illegal it doesn't matter since the NCAA won't punish them.
