GridironStuds profile<\/a> says he runs a 4.37 forty.\u00a0 Now we all know that high school 40 times are to be taken with the utmost grain of salt.\u00a0 The good news for Washington is that he moves fast enough on film for you to believe it.\u00a0 Washington patrols his corner position for Dixie HS in addition to handling return duties for the team.\u00a0 It is in the return game where he show off his speed.\u00a0 His film will reveal his ability to see a gap in the coverage and hit it with passion launching him through and onto the other side in short order.\u00a0 When no hole is present,\u00a0 Washington can run around a defender as good as anyone else.\u00a0 Schools love defensive backs that can contribute on special teams,\u00a0 especially the return game.<\/p>\nWhen it comes to defense,\u00a0 what you’ll notice and like about Washington is his ability to not only tackle but lay the wood.\u00a0 He’ll run through a wide receiver or ball carrier in a minute.\u00a0 Often times it’s violent and causes the man with the ball to suddenly no longer possess the ball.\u00a0 Washington’s highlight video features several forced fumbles stemming from high impact collisions.\u00a0 Of course he brings all the other tools that a cornerback should have also like speed and sticky coverage.\u00a0 He is starting to get solid D1 interest this offseason and I predict that this will only increase in this his senior season.\u00a0 Tall cornerbacks with long arms,\u00a0 speed and an ability to help in the return game don’t come a dime a dozen.\u00a0 As such,\u00a0 expect Keilen Washington to be firmly planted on the radar in the Fall of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
