100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #5 Woodi Washington
Posted on: September 7, 2020
The Path to Norman
Woodi Washington, out of Tennessee, was a highly-ranked corner in the 2019 class. With offers from basically every top program in the country, he took visits to the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida State, and Alabama in the summer of 2018. After all of them, however, he committed to the Sooners, without even having visited.

Career so Far
Washington took advantage of the redshirt rule in 2019, playing in his maximum four games without losing a year of eligibility. He certainly showed promise as a freshman, even contributing in the Peach Bowl at strong safety when Delarrin Turner-Yell was injured.

2020 Season
Expect a Washington to be a big player at safety for years to come in Norman. The latest depth chart projection has Woodi slotted behind returning starter DTY at strong safety, with Bryson Washington backing up Pat Fields at free safety. Although the returning starters look to be holding onto their spots, the young guys will be pushing and there has been nothing but positive talk about them both. Look for Woodi Washington to be a big contributor this year on his way to a bright career in Norman.
