How’d he get to The Blue™?
Zion came with an interesting offer list: Army, Air Force, and… Georgia Tech? Nevertheless, the former 3 star recruit made the correct choice to head north to the Gem State.
Nickname
“Neo”
If you’ve seen The Matrix movies, you know that Neo lives in Zion…
Look-alike
A more slender version of UFC legend, Daniel Cormier
Career Highlights
Mr. Washington played some games earlier in his career, but last year he really cemented himself as a key part of the defense. He played in 14 games, starting 13. In them, he had 46 tackles, 3.5 for a loss, and forced two fumbles.
2024 Prospectus
Zion will be roving the deep defensive backfield as one of Boise State’s starting safeties. With even more experience, he has the potential to elevate himself from “good” to “great”. He will be a key part of the Bronco defense.
Is he on Twitter?
You best believe he is! @ZionWashington. It’s in his DB blood to post great Tweets, and he doesn’t disappoint!
He’s also been stealing lines from Coach Danielson:
Completely made up fact
Zion completed an offseason mockumentary called “Mr. Washington Goes to Smith” that was supposed to be a parody of the classic Jimmy Stewart film, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Unfortunately, it wasn’t particularly successful because…there’s literally nothing in Smith, Alabama:
He was also working on the Jimmy Stewart movie, The Man from Laramie.
I hope the secondary show up big this year. I’ve always said if you can’t pass against Boise, you can’t pass.
