Washington had been committed to Central Michigan since May 21, but after the Gophers’ first prospect camp of the summer, he was offered by coach P.J. Fleck and his staff, then flipped to the Maroon & Gold on Thursday.
Listed at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, he had an impressive junior campaign for St. Ignatius Prep, the same high school as former Gophers kicker Matthew Trickett. He picked up 15 total Division I offers, but the Gophers were his first from a major conference.
The Gophers now have 11 players committed to their 2025 recruiting class and Washington is their first running back. It’s a very important weekend ahead for Fleck and his staff, with more than 20 official visitors on campus for their annual “Summer Splash” event, so be on the lookout for more news on All Gophers.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Make that a trio of commitment in the Class of 2027 this week for the Louisville football program.

Lewis chose Louisville out of a top seven that also consisted of Ohio State, Michigan State, Illinois, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Purdue. He also held offers from Cincinnati, Minnesota, Wisconsin plus several others, and made multiple visits to UofL’s campus – including this past Friday for the spring game.

The 6-foot-5, 245-pound defensive end is regarded as the 23rd-ranked prospect in the state of Ohio, the No. 50 edge rusher in the Class of 2027, and the No. 592 recruit in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite.
Lewis was an explosive force for Brush as a junior this past season. He collected 55 total tackles, 13.5 for loss, nine sacks, four pass breakup, a forced fumbles and over 20 quarterback pressures. He helped Brush finish the 2025 season with a 6-4 record.
Lewis is the 12th commitment in Louisville’s 2027 recruiting class, which is on pace to be the best in school history. he joins a class that not only ranks as the best class in the ACC, but the No. 8 class in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite. Four of their commitments are regarded as four-star prospects by the composite.
He’s also the latest in a budding pipeline to the state of Ohio, which has been championed by Executive Director of Football Personnel and Recruiting Vince Marrow. Five of Louisville’s 12 commitments in the 2027 cycle are from the Buckeye State, with three hailing from the Cincinnati area and the other two coming from Cleveland.
