Updated 247Sports ranking: No. 20 overall prospect, No. 2 tight end

Washington remains just outside five-star range — the nation's top 18 prospects currently are five-stars in 247Sports' rankings — but he's ranked among the nation's top tight ends coming off his strong showing at The Opening Finals. He already has visited Tennessee

???? He proved the last 3 years how good he was at making 5 star TE's elite blockers. The NFL doesn't give a squat about blockers. I see Chaney as a roadblock to us landing elite TE talent to be honest. Washington, Gilbert and Johnson have got to be aware of this.

Nauta was his own problem. Lack of want to. Chaney history with Te expands well beyond UGA. Our TEs haven’t been used the same since he left TN.

Wondering if KS wanted the TEs to be " elite blockers" as he called them. Assuming he wanted to build a team like AL. How did AL use the TEs while he was there?

Someone from the dawgs said here Nauta preferred downtown Athens as opposed to getting better. (Downtown Athens is pretty damn fun tho)

I cannot comment specifically to your question, but I have noticed bammer's WRs blocking like it was one of their major assignments. I am not talking about token efforts. They freaking block.

While most of Tennessee’s expected visitors for this weekend are scheduled to be on campus Saturday for the Vols’ pool party, at least one of their top targets plans to be in Knoxville before then. Five-star tight end Darnell Washington of Las Vegas is scheduled to visit Tennessee on Friday, along with Class of 2021 teammate Michael Jackson III, before visiting Georgia on Saturday. It will be Washington’s third visit with the Vols since June 2018, and sources close to his recruitment still believe Tennessee is one of a handful of schools in the best shape with him. Sources said Georgia and Alabama still are the teams to beat for Washington, with Auburn and Miami also in the picture. But the Vols already are in line to host him on an official visit, along with Georgia and Alabama, and Friday’s visit will give them another valuable opportunity to sell him on his opportunity at Tennessee.

Any idea how the visit went?

Not sure. He’s supposed to be heading to Athens today but no info if he’s there yet that I have seen. Not sure how long he stayed in Knoxville today. I’d like to believe that the staff would prioritize him.

You guys getting Gilbert and him!?

I don’t think both end up at UGA but if I picked today, I would pick Washington to UGA, not sure on Gilbert. I’d pick UT today but Bama is pushing but also wouldn’t be shocked if Gilbert started looking at schools that don’t require you to block as a TE. TE in the SEC is different than some conferences, WR are even asked to block in the SEC.

Re: the WR blocking...would love to have a Hines Ward type of guy. A WR that catches everything thrown at him, always a threat to score, and will knock your head off while blocking for a team mate.
