[I][B]ASSETS PER HUDL FILM:

VERY STRONG
GREAT BLOCKER PASS OR RUN
"BABY BYRON" JUST PUSHES THE DL OUT OF THE WAY
HIS RB GOES WHERE HE"S BLOCKING THE DL AND CUTS THE OTHER WAY

As an X user put it: "He still has another year?"
CBS Sports' Barrett Sallee later gave some context to the image: "Desoto (Texas) High School offensive lineman Byron Washington is 6-foot-8, 360 pounds. He’s a junior. He is blocking Summer Creek High School defensive end Kaleb Walker … WHO IS 6-FOOT-3, 210 POUNDS."
If Washington's a junior and set to graduate at 18 years old in 2025 - the age most people graduate from high school - that means Washington is currently 16 years old. Yup.

However, it's not been easy for the teenager, who is reported by The Athletic as having had to[URL='https://www.unilad.com/health'] undergo surgery[/URL] as a result of a six-inch growth spurt during one month of sixth grade.
Washington told the outlet: "My growth plates were stretching so much, I had to get metal rods put in my legs to straighten them out for more support on my body,
"For two years, I had to do physical therapy. I had to learn how to trust my body again. Getting to this point wasn’t easy."
It may not've been easy, but it's certainly been worth it for the young footballer, the 6A Division II championship seeing DeSoto win against Summer Creek.
According to Bally Sports TXHS, the DeSoto Eagles 'set a new record' in the championship for 'most points' in a 6A state championship with a total of 67. The previous record is reported as 63.[/B][/I]
