The Horned Frogs will be likely be down at least three defensive starters when they step back on a football field, as edshirt sophomore Ar’Darius Washington announced Tuesday that he was forgoing his remaining eligibility to prepare for the NFL Draft. He join senior Garret Wallow and Pro Wells among those exiting the TCU Football program following the 2020 campaign, with junior safety Trevon Moehrig expected to follow later this week.
Washington is a difference-maker at the safety position, a veritable game changer who seems to always be around the ball. Compared often to the Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu, for overcoming small stature with toughness and a knack for making big plays, the 5’8”, 178 pound prospect has made a name for himself amongst the draft pundits for his tackling ability, high football IQ, and athleticism at the position.
