Arkansas pledge Washington clutch in season-opening win

An Arkansas football program currently lacking tight end depth has a talented player set to arrive in January 2022, and three others are lined up for the future.

That would be Leesberg (Ga.) Lee County star and Razorbacks tight end pledge Tyrus Washington (6-4, 230), who came up with two clutch plays late to rally his team to a 25-22 win last week over Carver-Columbus in the Hamp Smith Classic in Albany, Ga.

Washington caught a touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Christopher Martin then hauled in a 2-point conversion on a trick play for a 23-22 lead.
