Key Texas WR target Marcus Washington sets commitment date

Saint Louis (Mo.) Trinity Catholic wide receiver Marcus Washington will be bringing his recruitment to a close in the coming weeks.

On Monday, the four-star Missouri native announced that he has set a commitment date for Oct. 26, which follows a Tweet Washington sent out on Sunday evening indicating that his mind is already made up.

If Washington’s Crystal Ball can accurately foretell which program the coveted pass catcher will choose by the end of the month, Texas has emerged as the overwhelming favorite.

Following a recent official visit to the Forty Acres for the Longhorns 37-14 win over USC, it was widely reported that Texas had taken control in Washington’s recruitment after impressing both he and his father, and a flurry of Crystal Ball projections have since followed.
