Taft senior standouts Adolphus Washington and Dwayne Stanford told the Enquirer this week that they have selected schools for two of their five official visits. The pair spoke in an interview for a story that will be part of our annual high school football preview.
Washington, a TE/DE who is being recruited on the defensive side of the ball, said he will take official visits to Alabama and Miami (Fla.) as part of his decision-making process. Washington is ranked No. 96 on the ESPNU 150 list. He said he has already taken unofficial visits to UC and Ohio State.
Stanford is one of the nation?s top prospects at WR. He is ranked No. 111 on the ESPNU 150 list and said he will also be taking an official visit to Miami (Fla.) as well as to LSU.
Both players said they will wait until the football season is complete before announcing their decisions. Taft, which made the playoffs last season in Division IV for the first time in school history, opens this season on Aug. 28 at Colerain against Friendship Collegiate Academy of Washington, D.C., as part of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. Friendship Academy features DT Eddie Goldman, who is ranked No. 2 on the ESPNU list.
