Football: Source says Northridge safety Washington will decide this week
Northridge High safety Chris Washington, who holds scholarship offers from BYU, Utah and Utah State, will likely commit some time this week, a source close to Washington's recruitment said last week.
Washington wants to commit before his senior season, which begins Friday night when the Knights travel to Jordan to take on the Beetdiggers. Jordan has a Division I recruit of its own in lineman Vyncent Jones, and possibly another if fellow lineman Kyle Johnson shows he has sufficiently recovered from a knee injury.
So which school will it be for Washington?
The senior has been fairly quiet on the matter, perhaps waiting to see if any out-of-state offers came in. My guess is Utah will land the three-star prospect (Scout.com), but it is only a guess.
In Utah's favor is the fact that Washington has made friends with a couple of Utah players, including linebacker Stevenson Sylvester. In BYU's favor is that one of Washington's best friends on Northridge's team, running back Peni Maka'afi, has already committed to the Cougars.
The chance to play immediately might be USU's biggest draw.
By the way, Washington was recently named to the 2008 B2G All-Sparta Team for his performance in early July at the B2G Elite Football Camp in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Washington was named the defensive MVP at the camp.
