Robert Washington (Yeah That One) to Valpo

[tep624]

Was this kid any good or was it all hype?

He was a top 25 prospect as a sophomore in HS and was the #15 prospect at RB in the class for a while. Was offered by practically everyone as a sophomore, ov’ed to Alabama even I believe.

Committed to Miss St first, decommitted

Committed to Syracuse his senior year, decommitted

Committed to Charlotte, played 2 years there, had a promising freshman year, started out his sophomore year as their starter and quit after 3 games.

Committed to Liberty as a transfer, decommitted

Committed to ODU as a transfer, played one year there in 2019, left.

I’ve lost track after that but now I guess he’s at Valpo.

Neither do the Patriot or Ivy leagues, yet, they offer academic scholarships that are only available to athletes who are actively on a roster, so...

Having just completed the OAC/Pioneer League/MSFA/CCIW recruiting process, he may get some “academic” merit-based money, but highly likely he’ll have to pay for a good part of his education, like most other kids at these levels.

We had kids from our high school and those we played against who were recruited and offered by Valpo.

I think he had a stint in the Lingerie Football League too.

I’ll always root for this kid. I don’t think we ever knew all the details but he had some personal family business that impeded his progress.
I’m happy he’s still carrying the rock and going to college for free

Seemed to all start going downhill for him once he xferred high schools. Unfortunate with all the family issues.

Another in a long line of Syracuse football saviors that never panned out. Drew Allen, Quinta Funderburk, Alin Edouard, Chance Amie...the list goes on. (I think we'll miss Jawhar Jordan though)

Robert probably had the longest and most optimistic thread of the group.

 

[chop block]

He got a helmet sticker on college football final, went for 234 and 3tds against presbyterian. Glad he seems to have found a home

 

[TheCusian]

He’s also 32

 

[sufandu]

What year is he? Is this his last one?

The talent was always there. Saw flashes of that his first year at Charlotte. Nice to see he’s putting it together now.

I think Barry Baker may take the title

I hope the kid kills it. Would be great story.

 

[Dinkyspond]

He’s also 32

He was a Shafer recruit. So he's been around approximately 7 years. Give him credit for staying around that long.

He was recruited before his pal Moe Neal.

Before today’s game, he had 195 touches (rushing & receiving) out of roughly 425 or so for the team…

He handled the ball nearly 50% of the time for them on offense this year and performed well. Gonna crack 1,500 all-purpose on a struggling team. Good strong season. Maybe he can get himself an invite to a camp.

Too late for us to offer him #44?

I think he may have another year left. He’s listed as a JR on their roster, and only played 2 seasons at the FBS level. He played their partial season in the Spring at Valpo but that season would have been tossed due to Covid.

Pretty clear it’s too late for us to offer anyone 44.

Except for someone who might come here in ‘23. And if he does come here, he might want to wear it, and he might play RB. So, he might get a chance.

Lol Robert Washington committed the day i bought a couch for my new house.

i still have the couch.

a few days ago marked 5 years in the house

Wild lol

The couch is now gone!

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

The couch is now gone!

I was just thinking the same thing. The day Washington committed was two cities, two jobs, and two phones ago.

Heard after 12 years of college the Bears are considering him for a front office position. Proud of him.
