Big game for Big O: UGA TE Darnell Washington finally gets some love

UGA freshman TE Darnell Washington had a career day in Georgia’s 49-14 win over Missouri.

Georgia freshman tight end Darnell ‘Big O’ Washington was one of the most highly rated recruits in the country when he signed with Georgia as a member of the Bulldogs’ No. 1 ranked recruiting class of 2020.

The 5-star prospect from Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, was rated as the No. 2 athlete and No. 23 prospect overall at six-foot-seven, 270 pounds.

For most of his first season in Athens, Big O has played as an in-line blocker at the tight end position, only recording two catches before Saturday’s game at Missouri.

Against the Tigers, we got a chance to see what he could do in the passing game when properly utilized as he recorded a career-high two catches for 61 yards.

Big guys aren’t supposed to move like that.

 

The 36-yard snag marks Big O’s longest catch of his short career.

Hopefully we will see his name in the receptions category much more moving forward, because he poses a nightmare of a matchup problem for opposing defenses at the very least.

Watch: Georgia freshman TE Darnell Washington’s insane high school tape

Watch the former 5-star recruit’s highlight tape here!

5-star Dessert Pines recruit Darnell Washington signed with Georgia as the No. 2 athlete, the No. 1 player in Nevada and the No. 23 overall recruit in the Bulldogs’ No. 1 class of 2020.

At 6-foot-7 260 pounds, Washington is already a miss match for opposing defenders.

The Under Armor All-American will wear No. 0 for the Bulldogs, which should make for a great target for Georgia quarterbacks when the Bulldogs kick off versus Arkansas on Sept 26.

Watch Washington’s dominant high school tape here:

Washington could be an absolute monster for Georgia, and with the departure of tight ends Eli Wolfe and Charlie Woerner, the Bulldogs will need to find production in the middle of the field.
