Washington, a five-star recruit ranked No. 1 in the state by 247Sports, released his top-three college list Tuesday of Oregon, Alabama and USC.
The 6-foot-5-inch, 200-pound safety is the No. 18 overall prospect in the class of 2026 by 247Sports. He had more than 30 Division I offers from other notable schools such as Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame and Ohio State.
Washington recently took an official visit to Oregon on June 6.
Washington was a first-team All-Southern Nevada selection last season, recording 38 tackles and five interceptions to help Gorman win the Class 5A Division I state title.
Washington, the nephew of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, has also shined on the basketball court. The two-time first-team All-Southern Nevada selection has led Gorman to back-to-back 5A state titles.
