From his Athletic Network profile:
I'm from Franklin,La. Son of Ydell Washington. I have one brother(Rogers)who plays pro-ball and a sister(Tiffany) with the Lady Cajuns. I was a walk-on to the basketball team. I played for two seasons. We were the Western Conference Champs and made it to the NIT for those two seasons. I received the Defensive Leader Award for two years and Mr. Hustle for 2002-03. I graduate 12-03 in Criminal Justice. For a little advise to those how are trying out or trying to walk-on to a team, keep faith in GOD, work hard at what you do, and don't let no one stop you from where you want to go or what you want to do.
