Washington was a big key to Grovetown’s defense in 2021. As a junior, Washington led the team in tackles, pass deflections and fumble recoveries. Washington Jr. is no stranger to University of Georgia football as his father Marcus Washington was a stand out player at Burke County who also chose to play football at the University of Georgia under coach Mark Richt from 2005 to 2009.
