5-star recruit from Las Vegas chooses Georgia at Under Armour game

The next signing period for football begins Feb. 5. The two players who committed to Georgia before the December signing period but did not sign are offensive lineman Broderick Jones, a 5-star recruit from Lithonia, and Sedrick Van Pran, a 4-star recruit from New Orleans.

Washington shared with DawgNation what stood out in the days leading to the game in Orlando.

“It came down to how like I got along with the coaches,” he said. “Not only that with the recruiting pitches. I know what’s real and what’s not. It came down just to like the vibe of the schools and the vibe of the coaches. I just want to work. Work hard. I don’t want anything given. I want to earn everything I get.”

Georgia was just “different” in his mind.

“Every place is different but when I was there, I really can’t even,” Washington said. “I really don’t know. I think Dell McGee was like an honest coach. Even though he is a running back coach. At that time, he was the one recruiting me. I think he was a good dude. A good-hearted dude.”
