Football: Rankings climb continues for Northridge's Washington
Chris Washington still has just three football scholarship offers, but the safety from Northridge High in Layton continues to gain more respect nationally where the major recruiting and scouting services are concerned.
Whether that translates into more offers for the 6-foot-2, 195-pound rising senior remains to be seen.
Washington has jumped from No. 77 to No. 24 in Scout.com's latest ranking of safeties in the country. Since he is given three stars and the No. 23 guy is given four stars, it is safe to assume that Washington -- virtually unknown a few months ago before the camp season began -- is a spot away from being a four-star recruit.
By the way, the No. 14 safety, Jray Galea'i of Kahuku, Haw., and the No. 18 safety, Timpview's Craig Bills, have committed to BYU. Cottonwood High's Asi Hosea is No. 137 and Jerrad Stewart, a safety from Pearland, Texas, who has committed to Utah, is No. 132.
Hosea recently picked up an offer from Kansas State.
As for Washington, people close to him are saying he is going to take a little longer to decide than he previously intended in hopes that some more offers come in. Utah, BYU and Utah State have offered him so far.

We've got this up on our BYU blog and our prep sports blog, so I will mention it just briefly here: Timpview lineman Tui Crichton, who has committed to BYU, will miss his senior season with the Thunderbirds due to a torn labrum in his shoulder.

Here Jay........since you can't seem to publish anything about the Utes or are a day late with no excuse. Worthless........do you get paid? For the life of me I can't understand what it is you do? Glad I can help!!!
Utah football added some serious size up front on Thursday. Vil Nau, a 6-foot-6, 318-pound offensive lineman from Mount San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif., has signed a financial aid agreement with the Utes and is ticketed to enroll in the team's summer bridge program.
Nau originally committed to Oregon State
Geez, Jay. I'm starting to feel for you, man.
First you get harpooned by BYU fans claiming you're a Ute homer, now these Utes keep getting on your case about being BYU-biased.
Of course Ute fans are idiots, so I guess some of the moronic comments are to be expected.
Concerning Washington, I think this is a great story. BYU offers the "no-name" Washington, and Ute fans laugh because they know they have "better recruits."
Then Utah offers Washington, and Ute fans suddenly jump on the bandwagon.
Then Washington goes to a prestigious camp, bumps up his prestige and gains some more notoriety.
I guess BYU saw it all along. I hope Washington remembers that.
