James Washington Passes Dez Bryant, Now a Top-5 OSU Receiver

James Washington’s 82-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter against Kansas State not only jump-started the Cowboy’s comeback, it pushed the junior wideout into the top five in all-time receiving yards at Oklahoma State.

Here’s the current list:

1. Rashaun Woods – 4,414 yards
2. Justin Blackmon – 3,564 yards
3. Hart Lee Dykes – 3,510 yards
4. D’Juan Woods – 2,751 yards
5. James Washington – 2,517 yards
6. Dez Bryant – 2,425 yards

After a career-low one catch for nine yards against Kansas, Washington has strung together back to back 117-yard performances.

I outlined the likelihood of Washington making it to No. 4 after that KU-game.

That goal is even more realistic now. Washington needs to get 235 yards in the last four games (including the bowl game) to pass D’Juan Woods. That’s an average of 58.5 yards per game, almost 50 yards less than his current average of 108.2.

At that average, Washington is on pace to reach 1,407 yards this year. That’s the most at OSU since Justin Blackmon’s 2011 1,522-yard campaign.

Here’s the most impressive part.

Rashaun Woods is the all-time Cowboy receiver with 4,414 yards. If Washington reaches that 1,407 yards this year (2,950 career yards) he would be only 1,465 yards short of passing Woods as the all-time receiver in OSU history.

If Mason Rudolph pushes off the NFL Draft buzz and the duo stay put for another run next season, that feat is more than attainable.
