Shaq Washington out of Maple Heights near Cleveland committed to UC today. Washington is a 5'9" 160 pound receiver who will play in the slot for Butch Jones and Co. He is a three star prospect for both Rivals and Scout. He plays QB for the Mustangs, but is a slot receiver all the way in college. I have mentioned in the past how Jones likes to get his receivers involved in the running game. Washington is a perfect candidate to fill that role, he plays essentially as a single wing QB for Maple Heights, he has the ball in his hands at all time and is a very effective runner despite his smaller stature. Washington isn't necessarily the best prospect, but he is a fantastic player.
