Washington Jr. possesses great feet, fluid hips, and violent hands at the point of attack, allowing him to excel in both coverage and run support. His ball skills and versatility make him a valuable asset in the secondary, as he can effectively play nickel, safety, or cornerback. With his speed and lockdown ability, Washington has drawn increased attention from college programs. He recently took a visit to Houston and will be on campus at Oklahoma this weekend as his recruitment continues to heat up.

The theme continued with kids I was aware of, but needed to see in a camp/competition setting. The Wide Receiver group at the Texas camp was insane. So, for any Defensive Back to earn a spot on the National Watchlist there, hats off to them.
