Penn State football commits
Parker Washington
Position: Receiver
Recruiting class (size): 2020 (16 players)
Hometown/School: Richmond, Texas/Fort Bend Travis
Height/weight: 5-10/197
Stars: 3 (247Sports); 4 (Rivals)
Other top offers: Wisconsin, Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas, Utah, Georgia Tech, Houston, Boston College, Duke
Notable: He’s rated the No. 58 prospect in Texas and No. 70 receiver in the country by 247Sports. Note he has four stars from Rivals and three stars from 247Sports. His top offer list isn’t indicative of a typical four-star guy, with some solid programs but not many powerhouses. He’s in the finals at The Opening, so his stock could get even higher.
Quotable: “Really liked what I saw from receiver Parker Washington tonight at The Opening. He shined during the one-on-one portion and had arguably the night’s most impressive catch.” — 247Sports recruiting writer Tom Loy on Twitter
