Jordan Washington will rejoin Jedd Fisch in Seattle after attending Arizona spring ball.
For running back Jordan Washington, the signs of a successful football career have been there all along.
He ran the ball for Jordan High School in Long Beach, California, and has recently committed to play for the University of Washington.
All he had to do was track his name from one institution to the next, stopping briefly in Arizona. And he’ll do it quickly.
On Sunday, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound speedster announced on social media that he will return with coach Jedd Fisch at the UW after previously signing with Fisch in Tucson, enrolling early, and participating in spring football with the Wildcats.
He is the third back Fisch has acquired from Arizona, following junior Jonah Coleman and freshman Adam Mohammed, who participated in the recent UW spring practice. He entered the transfer portal on April 25, visited Montlake over the weekend, and will return for fall camp.
This Washington is claimed to be the fastest of them all, and possibly the fastest Husky runner since Beno Bryant, another Los Angeles-area running back, who played for the Huskies on their 1991 national championship team and later.
This newcomer is a track athlete who came second in the 100-meter sprint at the California state championship as a junior. He has a personal best speed of 10.31 seconds in the 100 and 4.4 seconds in the football 40.
In three seasons at Jordan High, Washington carried for 3,024 yards and 38 touchdowns, caught 71 receptions for 1,026 yards and nine touchdowns, returned two kickoffs for touchdowns, and ran back an interception for a touchdown.
His stats indicated that he may go the distance at any point. As a senior, Washington touched the ball seven times in a 46-20 victory over Compton, scoring five times.
