UM and OSU up for Washington

Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's wide receiver Taurian Washington has close to a dozen scholarship offers. The only school on his list that has yet to offer is Ohio State, and that could change this week.

"I have 10 offers now I think," Washington said. "I'm thinking about Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Iowa, Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Illinois -- basically all the Big Ten. All of them except Ohio State offered."

Washington will attend camps at Michigan and Ohio State this week.

"I'm going to Ohio State June 23," he said. "I'm going to Michigan's camp for a day. I might go to Michigan State's camp for a day in July."

Washington is not close to selecting a college.

"I'll wait and take official visits, but I'm not sure who," he said. "Most likely I'll take all five."

The 6-foot-0 and 167-pound Washington played for Detroit St. Martin DePorres his sophomore year. However when the school closed he transferred to St. Marys and had an outstanding junior season. Washington caught 35 passes and scored five times. In a great year for talent in the state of Michigan, Washington ranks among the Top 10 overall prospects.
