Being a 6’7 tall 280 pound five-star athlete coming out of high school definitely lines you up for success, and in Darnell Washington’s case everything is finally coming together.
The Mack Truck-sized tight end has been building his reputation in Athens since he first stepped foot in the Classic City. He flashed in the Peach Bowl against Cincinnati his freshman year and continued to show signs of greatness during Georgia’s 2021 national championship campaign last year.
Now in 2022, Washington has established himself a vital part of the Georgia offense. He’s been able to make an impact as a leader too, and it’s made way for more productive play on the field.
