QUACKKKK: Four-Star DL A'mauri Washington Commits to Oregon
There’s never a dull moment in recruiting and Duck fans got a surprise late Friday night. Following his game, Chandler (Ariz.) defensive lineman A’mauri Washington surprised fans with his commitment to Oregon.
The 6-foot-2, 320-pounder celebrated a win with his team by announcing his commitment on the field moments after the game.
Washington is commit No. 17 for the Ducks in the 2023 class. And perhaps its biggest get on the defensive side thus far.
The four-star picked Oregon over Oklahoma, LSU and others.
Washington is one of the top defensive tackles in the Western Footprint. He is the No. 173 ranked player nationally in the On3 Consensus Rankings.
Last week, Washington told ScoopDuck he has a close relationship with the new Oregon staff. A big reason for the Ducks being one of his finalists at the time.
“Oregon, is definitely the coaching staff,” Washington told ScoopDuck. “They are just amazing, all of them. I talk to all of them but I talk to coach Tony (Tuoiti) a little more. He’s genuine and a good person.”
On3 Scouting Report
Big-bodied interior defender that blows up plays consistently up the middle with burst and violence. Totaled 13 tackles and six sacks last season at defensive tackle. Can get vertical in a hurry and has the foot speed and balance to run to the football. Plays low to the ground and has loose hips to gain leverage consistently. Does not look to have great overall height and length, but will be disruptive at the next level along the interior as long as he can maintain his weight and get stronger. Plays for one of the top high school programs in the western United States.
