I
had the honor to speak with Devonte Washington of Jacksonville, Fla., on
last evening, and what a spirited young man he is.

| WR - Devonte Washington |
The
6’2, 185-pound wide receiver is now ready to focus on his senior year in high school
and get to Georgia State in 2013 and make an impression with the team and
coaches.
Last
year Devonte Washington caught 22 passes, including three for touchdowns, he
wants to improve that record in hopes of one day becoming the best wide receiver
ever to come through Georgia State.
I
asked Washington, why did he decide to commit to Georgia State? “I feel that I
will be successful at Georgia State and in the Sun Belt Conference. Georgia
State is going into the Sun Belt Conference next season and I like that, said
Washington.”
Washington
went on to say that he felt at home when he visited the campus of Georgia
State, he also stated that he received a warm welcome from the coaches and the staff.
Devonte
Washington also gives credit to his uncle (Jermaine Washington), who also played
a big role in his commitment to Georgia State “My uncle told me it’s always good
to be close to home.” Washington mentioned that he was recruited by Georgia
State area Recruiting Coordinator.
Washington
didn’t fall short of mentioning Coach Bill Curry. “Coach Curry is a great man,
great coach, and he is down to earth and like that.”
Devonte
Washington told me that he only received one other FBS Division 1 offer, and
that was from Iowa State. He
is confident that he will continue to play wide receiver at Georgia State next
season. Washington said while at Georgia State he wants to develop into that
big time play.
Washington
is a spirited young man with hopes of one day playing in the pro. He is really
excited about entering the Georgia State football program. Washington said before
he exit
Georgia State, he wants the country to know that he been to Georgia
State.
“Before
I leave and when I leave, I want Georgia State to be at the top of the Sun Belt
Conference, said Washington.”
