Former University of Cincinnati football standout Shaq Washington just became one of the youngest prep football head coaches in America.

The 24-year-old Washington, the Bearcats' career receptions leader with 240, on Monday was named head coach at his alma mater, Cleveland suburb Maple Heights High School.

Washington tweeted the news, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Washington will replace Devlin Culliver on the job. Culliver resigned a little more than a month ago to spend more time with his children, who also play football.
