2023 Penn State football snapshot profile: No. 16 Elliot Washington II

Where does freshman CB Elliot Washington II fit in the 2023 defensive plans for Penn State? Snapshot profile of the freshman.

Going into the 2023 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.

Today we take a look at one of the fresh faces in the program from the Class of 2023, cornerback [autotag]Elliot Washington II[/autotag]. The Florida native committed to Penn State after committing to an SEC powerhouse program originally, making this a key recruiting victory for Franklin and his staff. But fans should not expect to see Washington contributing in a big way in the defense just yet. Instead, a bright future in the longer run is what should have fans excited about Washington being part of the program moving forward.

Alabama commit, Elliot Washington II flips commitment to Penn State

Alabama loses the commitment of 2023 four-star safety Elliot Washington II. He announced that he is flipping his commitment to Penn State on Friday.

On Friday afternoon, Alabama lost a commitment from 2023 safety Elliot Washington II.

He flipped his commitment from the Crimson Tide to Penn State. The news of him flipping doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Many experts had Washington II flipping his commitment to Michigan State after having taken two official visits to East Lansing.

Washington II had been committed to the Tide since January 31, 2022. His father, Elliot Washington Sr., played basketball for Alabama’s men’s basketball team just a few decades ago.

Washington II is regarded as a four-star by 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. He is listed at 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds. He plays football while also competing in track at Venice High School in Venice, Florida.

The Tide’s 2023 recruiting class now consists of ten hard commits. There are still three defensive backs in the class with five-star prospects Tony Mitchell and Jahlil Hurley, as well as three-star Brayson Hubbard on board.

Alabama is still in pursuit of several other cornerbacks like Cormani McClain, Makari Vickers and Caleb Downs. Washington’s flip to Penn State hurts temporarily, but Alabama will be able to land several other defensive backs in the future.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to cover Alabama football and the Crimson Tide’s recruiting news.

Where Alabama’s current 2023 commits rank according to each recruiting service

Even with just a few commitments, Alabama is off to a strong start for the class of 2023.

We all know that recruiting is the lifeblood of any college program and in the modern age of NIL, perhaps recruiting has undergone the most sizeable change.

One thing that hasn’t changed is that [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and Alabama continue to be dominant on the recruiting trail. Currently, Alabama has five commitments in the class of 2023 and all five are ranked within the top 200 according to both On3 Consensus and 247 Composite.

Speaking of rankings, I thought we could take a few minutes to look at where each of Alabama’s 2023 commits rank according to each of the major recruiting services.

Alabama received its first commitment in the class from four-star defensive back Elliot Washington II on Jan. 31. Just a few weeks later, five-star cornerback Jahlil Hurley announced his commitment to Alabama.

Alabama wouldn’t receive its next commitment until mid-April when four-star EDGE defender Yhonzae Pierre chose the Tide. Alabama has received one commitment in each of the last two months, first from four-star quarterback Eli Holstein in May, then four-star offensive tackle Wilkin Formby earlier this month.

Let’s take a look at where each of these prospects ranks according to each service.

Alabama commit Elliot Washington receives significant bump in latest On300 rankings

Tide commitment soars in the latest On300 recruiting rankings!

Back on Jan. 31, Alabama received its first commitment in the class of 2023 in Elliot Washington. Just a few weeks later, on the final day of February, On3 released its newly updated On300 rankings and Washington received a massive bump in his rankings.

Washington would move from No. 136 overall to No. 66 in the updated rankings.

On3’s thoughts on Washington

“The Alabama commitment makes the move from No. 136 to 66 after very impressive junior video and a subsequent Under Armour Camp Miami performance. Washington posted in a 4.42 40 at 195 pounds at the camp, and he looked powerful and explosive in drills. Washington’s versatility sets him apart from many other defensive backs in the cycle. He has the ability to play anywhere in the secondary due to a blend of size, speed, and ball skills. He displayed patience and sound eyes at the Miami camp.”

More good news could be on its way from a recruiting standpoint, Alabama is set to host several high-profile recruits this upcoming weekend and there could be a couple more who pull the trigger and commit to the Crimson Tide.
