Georgia, Tennessee, Miami and Penn State rounded out Washington’s list. At 6-8 and 261 pounds, Washington is regarded as one of the top tight end prospects in recent memory. Desert Pines assistant head coach, David Hill, said Washington has the potential to be one of the purest tight ends ever.

“We might witness some of the greatest tight end play from a pure tight end, being able to block and block in the C gap,” Hill told Touchdown Alabama.
