Ohio State has offered the nephew of Kobe Bryant.
Safeties coach Matt Guerrieri offered four-star Las Vegas safety Jett Washington on Monday, making him the ninth safety the Buckeyes have offered in the 2026 class. Washington has visited OSU twice, with each visit coming in the spring, but hasn't returned since. That could change following the offer, though.
Per 247Sports’ composite rankings, Washington is considered the 67th-best prospect in the 2026 cycle. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound prospect has earned more than 20 Division I offers, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, San Diego State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, UNLV and Washington.
