While the Virginia Cavaliers fell to 0-3 on Friday night in the form of a 42-14 loss at the Maryland Terrapins, graduate wide receiver Malik Washington continued what has been a stellar start to his 2023 campaign.
Washington, who transferred from Northwestern this past offseason to help bolster a largely unproven UVA receiving corps, hauled in nine receptions for 141 yards (both career-highs) Friday against the Terps. His performance in College Park marked his second consecutive 100-yard game after tallying five receptions, 119 yards, and a touchdown last Saturday against James Madison.
Through just three games, Washington singlehandedly has more 100-yard receiving performances than the Cavaliers had combined last season (Keytaon Thompson was the only player to reach the mark with a 118-yard output against Old Dominion).
