Darnell Washington, 5-star ATH, Las Vegas (Nev.) Desert Pines

Five-star ATH Darnell Washington.

CP: Of all the prospects you would just see walking around, he was the one where you walked past and you were like, ‘Woah.” This guy from a stature standpoint, on the hoof, kind of blows you away. He was 6-7.5, 261, that means he’s probably gained 10-15 pounds since February. And the interesting thing with him is he’s so big it’s going to be interesting to see how his body fills out. He’s a guy who’s probably going to put on a whole lot more weight when he gets in a college program. You kind of wonder, is he going to be 290? Could he be a guy who plays other positions in addition to tight end? Could he end up being a defensive end? Or could he maybe even be 315 pounds and be an offensive tackle? Whatever he is, he’s definitely really rare in terms of his size and athleticism. This was probably the best tight end group of any event I’ve ever been to. Every tight end was amazing. Of all the tight ends, he probably was the least fluid as a pass catcher, running routes and catching the ball. And that’s not to say he wasn’t also very good. At a lot of events he would maybe have been the best tight end. He’s definitely a little more raw as a receiver, but he’s super intriguing, he’s a got a 7-foot wingspan, he’s just kind of freakish walking through the door. And he moves pretty well, too.
