In February, Jerome Washington announced that he would be transferring from Miami and continuing his playing career elsewhere. A couple of months later, it appears that continuation will happen a couple of thousand miles north of where he began.
Saturday, Washington took a visit to the campus of Rutgers. Shortly thereafter, the tight end indicated to nj.com that the Scarlet Knights will be his likely landing spot.
“Everything went good today,” Washington told the website. “They will officially offer me later on this week.
“They just want to run my stuff through compliance and make sure everything is alright. So I’m pretty much good to go.”
Washington, a rising sophomore, appeared in nine games in 2015 for the Hurricanes but did not record a statistic. He arrived at The U by way of Mercer County Community College.
If Washington lands at RU, or any other FBS program, he’d have to sit out the 2016 season, but would then have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2017.
