Five-Star Tight End Darnell Washington Intrigued by Miami’s Legacy

Washington, a 5-star recruit and the 11th ranked player in the 2020 recruiting class, praised Miami for its use of tight ends, and the strong tradition of talent.

Darnell Washington heavily impressed during Paradise Camp in June — building chemistry with quarterback Tyler Van Dyke — a commit in Miami’s 2020 class.

Miami is considered ‘Tight End U’ for good reason — the names of Hurricane legends such as David Njoku, Jeremy Shockey, and Greg Olsen may help the ‘Canes on the recruiting trail, as they’ll have to compete with schools like Alabama, Georgia, and LSU for Washington’s commitment.
