Penn State Football WR – Parker Washington

Parker Washington has played well so far this season, he has 10 catches for 104 yards so far through two games, but he has not yet found the end zone.

This is not necessarily his fault, but regardless, Washington will have to find a way to get going against Auburn.

The Tigers have a great secondary, and they’ll likely sell out to shut down Jahan Dotson. So, as the number two receiver, Parker Washington is going to have to step up.

Washington is tough to tackle with the ball in his hands, so look for Mike Yurcich to get the ball into his hands a lot, via screen passes. If they are successful in doing this, it should open up opportunities for big plays down the field, just like it did against Wisconsin.
