The Buckeyes are the latest to offer the five-star prospect from Gary, Indiana’s West Side High School and join a slew of teams — particularly from the Big Ten — who are vying for his skillset. Washington is a 6-foot-9, 220-pound power forward that can spread the floor and knock down shots while also making plays for himself and his teammates.

Washington currently holds offers from Stanford, Penn State, Illinois, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Purdue, Alabama, Louisville and Indiana; amongst others.

Even though the sky is the limit for Washington and he is a highly valued recruit, the junior only played seven games through his first two prep seasons due to injury. He fractured his shoulder during his freshman season and then missed his entire sophomore campaign after tearing his ACL.

Despite those setbacks, he has put on a show through the AAU circuit and has caught the attention of just about every college coach in the country.

Washington averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 49% from the field, 79% at the free-throw line and 40% on three-pointers. He also anchored West Side’s defense with 27 blocks. An all-around player that helped lead his team to their first sectional and regional titles in 16 years.
