He's a Rivals 250 running back and said this in a recent article:
My family is from Connecticut," said Washington. "Everybody is from Connecticut, they just happened to move down and I was born down here. Seventy-five percent of my family still lives in Connecticut, so I grew up a UConn fan. That's the school I grew up liking and we used to grow up watching UConn basketball. I have a whole bunch of UConn stuff just from growing up as a fan."
Washington did say that he has a good relationship with the Connecticut coaching staff and he would like to visit that school again.
"They have a brand new coaching staff," he said. "I used to have a relationship with Kermit Buggs, the old running back coach at UConn. I am a building relationship with all of the coaches up there because they're new a coaching staff, which makes it really hard on 2016 recruiting and calling some recruits. I would love to spend some more time with the new coaching staff, just to get to know them better."
