RB Washington a full qualifier, eligible to play this fall for Huskers

Freshman signee Maurice Washington is a full qualifier and will be eligible to play for the Huskers this fall, a spokesperson confirmed to the Journal Star on Thursday afternoon.

Washington, 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds, is a four-star prospect out of Trinity Christian High in Texas, but was an academic question mark since well before he signed with Nebraska in February.

Washington began his prep career near his native San Jose, California, but transferred to Trinity Christian, the third high school of his career, for the 2017 season.

There he burst onto the scene, earning an invitation to the Under Armour All-America game in January.
