A Nebraska wide receiver entered the NFL draft. Marcus Washington could have filed a waiver for another year of eligibility but instead decided to forgo another season in college and declare for the NFL draft.
Washington missed the season’s final six games after injuring his knee during the Huskers’ 20-7 victory over Illinois. For his career, Washington appeared in 48 games and made 64 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.
He made the announcement on social media.
First I want to thank god for blessing me with this opportunity, without him I am nothing. Thank you to all my family, friends, teammates, coaches, and everyone else who’s been with me through this journey. I couldn’t have done this without you guys and you are very appreciated.
Husker Nation I want to thank you for welcoming a kid from St. Louis in open arms easily the best fans in CFB. I will remember every moment.
With that being said I’m officially declaring for the 2024 NFL draft.
Washington did not start his career at Nebraska. He started his career at Texas (2019-21) before transferring to Nebraska for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
