Malik Washington can do just about everything on the football field, and that’s what he did as a sophomore for Parkview High School in Lilburn, Ga., last season.
The 5-foot-9, 180-pound athlete completed 11-of-13 passes for 106 yards and three touchdowns, caught 41 passes for 649 yards and four touchdowns, and rushed for 369 yards and another touchdown. On defense, he recorded 45 tackles with five interceptions and seven pass breakups. He returned punts, to boot.
Auburn was first to offer Washington last March before Cincinnati offered in November. This year, he has added offers from Duke, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest among others.
