Papillion-La Vista South’s Elon Washington Elon Washington 5'6" | 150 lbs | WR Papillionla Vista South | 2026 State NE quietly had one of the better receiving seasons in Class A last year and has carried that momentum over to his senior year. Through four games, Washington has recorded 25 receptions for 307 yards and three touchdowns. I was able to watch him in action against Millard North in Week 3 and thought he had a solid game. He is a very crafty receiver who excels at creating separation from defenders with his route-running ability and can finish plays with his strong hands at the catch point. Washington is especially dangerous going over the middle of the field, where he can use his quick twitch to beat slower DBs/LBs. Elon isn’t just good through the route and at the catch point, but also after the catch, where he has shown that he can take advantage of open space to tack on additional yardage. This also translates to special teams, where he’s already recorded a kickoff return for a touchdown. Elon is somewhat under the radar at the moment, but should pick up more looks as the season progresses and more coaches can check him out.
