Maurice Washington is cleared as full-participant in 2018

My power 6 Freshmen Impact list just changed.

2 spot belongs to Washington in the most freshman friendly offense for running backs in the country.

He is, plain and simple, as good as I’ve seen on tape to walk on campus since Abdullah.

I give credit to Frost sticking by Washington all the way through and being the key mentor and motivator to Washington, whose situation was one that has seen many more players give up only to find a much more trying path.

His situation is one that has extinguished many football careers of players with equal or more talent before they even had a chance to begin.

TL;DR Nebraska just added a RB more talented than any freshman player joining a B1G West roster this fall, and some pundits will argue the biggest recruiting steal in the country by Nebraska.

I'll agree with that.

Reminds me of LP, only 10 lbs lighter (2017 190 lb playing weight).
Good hands, good vision, good cuts, good acceleration, good balance, breaks tackles.
LP was 6'1" 200 lbs his freshman and sophomore years. Then listed at 215 his junior year.

Maurice Washington getting a lot of praise. What you would expect to hear about a high caliber RB that stands out over the rest.

"Special"
"Another gear"
"Instincts you just don't coach"
"Guys have it or they don't, and he has it"
"Beast"
"Fast"
"Phenomenal talent"
"A lot of shake and bake"

He'll be a great one if he can stay healthy and clean. Book it.

You can't teach guys to find running lanes once they're beyond the LOS. When to cut, when to accelerate, reading 2nd and 3rd level blocks, etc.

That is pure instinct that separates average RB's from the great ones.

He's currently #28 on Nebraska's roster. He should talk Tyjon Lindsey into trading #'s so he can wear his high school #1.

What other Nebraska RB wore #1?

Thaaat's right.

For whatever reason, whenever I hear the name Maurice Washington my brain immediately pictures Leonard Washington.

That running play @ :42 the kid just flat out splits the defenders on the second and third level and blows right by them. I can see why he is turning heads at Fall Camp - he has the moves and speed not seen in couple of years.

Longer than a couple years IMO. He's more of a complete package than Ameer was coming out of high school. I thought the world of Ameer coming out of high school, but he was more of a Rozier type RB. If Ameer had Rozier O-lines he may have won the Heisman.
This guy is athletically complete like LP was.
We'll see if he can live up to that lofty standard.
