Here is TFB on Washington --
Open Post | Wednesday, May 23rd - The Football Brainiacs - UT Edition
I have been in contact with Bryson for some time based on his expressed interest in OU so when I hit him up about the offer from Texas he quickly got back to me.
Washington is extremely happy about the offer as he said “It’s huge to get an offer from one of my top schools, it’s great!”
Mater Dei is producing some serious Big 12 recruiting battles, particularly between OU and UT, in specific, as they have both offered numerous players from the West Coast high school power. 19 Athlete Bru McCoy, ’20 QB Bryce Young, ’20 DB Darian Green-Warren, ’20 DB Elias Ricks, and now ’20 DB Washington each have serious connections to either UT or OU, and in some cases like McCoy and Young and now Washington, both OU and UT are in their top group of schools.
I asked Washington if he was planning on making a visit to Austin this summer and he said “Yes sir, I plan on visiting both Texas and OU at some point this summer.”
In the past, it has been very difficult for teams not named USC, Oregon and to some extent UCLA to pull kids out of Mater Dei. However, with Texas making a concerted effort to establish a more prominent foothold in California, and OU already having quite an extensive history of recruiting the state, the perceived struggles of the PAC 12 in terms of national recognition could play right into the hands of the Big 12 heavyweights ,and I would not be surprised to see three or four of the kids mentioned above end up in the conference.
