Tahj

Washington

Philadelphia released Brandon Hayes in a corresponding move. Miami released Washington earlier this week. A 2024 seventh-round pick, Washington did not play as a rookie and appeared in six games last year. He caught three passes for 37 yards.

Washington was taken as a flier after a 2023 collegiate season in which he had the fifth most receiving yards in the nation and the most receptions. The highly-productive Washington could function as Miami’s WR3 if Odell Beckham struggles or misses time with injury this season. He’ll be a waiver wire name to monitor in 2024. The Dolphins also signed seventh round WR Tahj Washington and speedy RB Jaylen Wright, the 120th overall pick in the 2024 draft. Wright would be an interesting fantasy option if De’Von Achane or Raheem Mostert miss time.

Washington (5’10/174) is expected to be viewed exclusively as a slot receiver at the next level. His slender frame is accompanied by small hands and a short wingspan, but Washington put together three productive seasons at USC and averaged an impressive 8.2 YAC/REC in his final two seasons. Washington struggled with drops throughout his career but dropped only one pass on 74 targets last season. Washington also returned punts and kicks with the Trojans and has been a mainstay on punt coverage. His special teams contributions should give him an edge when it comes to earning a roster spot this offseason.

Washington, the transfer from Memphis, has rolled up 17 receptions for 162 yards across the past two games. He has started to become a larger part of the offense, but he still hasn’t found the end zone in eight consecutive games dating back to Sept. 4 against San Jose State. He’ll look to return to his scoring ways next Saturday in Berkeley against the Cal Bears.

Washington was having a solid game before the injury to Drake London, but things picked up for the former Memphis transfer after London was knocked out of the game -- and possibly the season. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound wideout has his season high in both catches and yardage, and while there are other talented receivers on the Trojans, it’s not hard to imagine he’s going to be one of the top targets for USC going forward. Washington and USC take on Arizona State next weekend.

Tahj Washington, who transferred from Memphis this spring after a 743 yard, six touchdown campaign will start for the Trojans. Other notable starters include true freshman Joseph Manjack IV, a three-star recruit, and two redshirt freshmen at the tackle spots.

Washington (5'11/175) entered the transfer portal earlier in March, taking about a week’s pause before making his public announcement on the move to USC. This makes for a strong pickup by the Trojans, as Washington flourished this past fall, registering a 43-743-6 receiving line. Barring a waiver from the NCAA -- or an outright rule change allowing a one-time transfer exemption, something which could very seriously be in play this summer -- Washington will have to sit out the 2021 season. Hypothetically, if he did receive instant eligibility, he would join Bru McCoy at the top of the receiving depth chart for the post-Amon-Ra St. Brown era.

This is a big one, as Washington (5'11/175) was incredibly productive during the 2020 season. The redshirt freshman appeared in 11 games last season, catching 43 passes for 743 yards and six touchdowns. Washington led all freshman at the FBS level in receiving yards. He will have up to four seasons of eligibility remaining at his next stop, and Washington won’t lack for suitors.

Washington (5'10/170) was the only Tiger ball-carrier to reach the end zone, with his two-yard run pulling the Tigers to within seven points late in the second quarter. The redshirt freshman was more productive in the passing game, as he led Memphis in receptions while being targeted nine times on the day. For the season Washington has caught 32 passes for 592 yards and five touchdowns, numbers that he’ll look to improve upon next Saturday against Houston.

This looked like it was going to be a fun football game early on, as Washington tied the game at 7-7 with a 92-yard touchdown from Brady White in the first quarter. That would be the only touchdown of the game for the Tigers, and as you can see from the score, Cincinnati would score a lot more. Washington (5'10/170) has been a bright spot for Memphis, but not enough of one on Saturday for them to defeat a Bearcats team that is looking more and more legit every week. The redshirt freshman should have another big game next Saturday against USF.
