Wide Receiver Parker Washington 10/29 vs. Ohio State

I know this performance is the only one that occurred in a loss. In a game that potentially kept Penn State out of the College Football Playoff, Parker Washington balled out against #2 Ohio State.

Parker Washington gave Penn State the most impressive receiving performance of the season. Washington tallied 11 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown.

The touchdown was a testament to Washington’s versatility. He took a quick slant 58 yards after breaking a couple of tackles. In addition to the touchdown grab, Washington made several circus catches that led to national attention. Parker Washinton’s performance against Ohio State most likely led to his decision to enter the NFL Draft.
