Adolphus Washington (Cincinnati/Taft)
6-4, 251
College: Undeclared
This four-star end is a talented enough prospect to make the ESPNU 150, but you need to keep an eye on him because he is still a bit raw and it seems his best football is very much ahead of him. This is a good-sized kid who still possesses physical upside. He displays good initial quickness and runs well. When he keeps his pads down and uses his hands and reach to his advantage, he can be very tough to handle, whether he is defending the run or hunting down quarterbacks. Washington is a prospect with a lot of physical tools, but he can rely on those too much at times to get by and needs to keep working on the little things in his game. If he can begin to meld his raw abilities with more consistent technique, he has the physical tools to be a very good and disruptive college defender.
