“Bama was a fun visit for me just to be able to go out there and see them compete,” Washington said. “I know they didn’t win the big game and made some mistakes, but overall it was a fun visit. They didn’t really use their tight ends because their starter is out with a neck injury, but coach
Nick Saban told me before the game was that he wouldn’t really feature the position. I obviously took that into consideration and know they have big plans for the position in the future. I know how they used
Irv Smith Jr. and they had OJ Howard, and I know they will use one when they’ve got a good one.
“Before the visit, honestly, I wasn’t really considering Bama as much but now that I’ve been there again and heard what the coaches had to say, it was an eye opener. Bama could be a top option for me, definitely up there. I know I have to let this visit sink in.”
