Washington is a four-star prospect who also excels on the football field at McAlester. Listed at 6-foot-2, Washington is the No. 63 player in the 247Sports Composite ranking for the 2028 class, which makes him the state’s top prospect in that particular ranking. Along with his OSU offer, Washington’s offer list features Kansas, Missouri, OU, Alabama and others.
Despite being 6-2, Washington is known for his rim-rattling dunks via his ridiculous athleticism.

Washington, McDaniel and Murry are just going into their junior years of high school, so there could still be some time before they’re ready to pick a college program. But it appears as if basketball in this state is in good hands for the next few years.
