Though Nakia Griffin-Stewart has been the clear starting tight end for the Rutgers Football team since the start of training camp, Jerome Washington ’12 is doing his best to muddy the waters.

The Daily Targum reported that the former Bear had a strong practice on August 7 and that he and Williams “seem to be battling it out for the starting job.” Washington was one half of the play of the day, according to the Targum:

[Kyle] Bolin looked the sharpest of all the QBs, making the play of the day when he threw a perfect fade route to Jerome Washington, who made the catch in the corner of the end zone despite K.J. Gray and Tim Barrow draped all over him.

Washington and the Scarlet Knights open the season on Friday, Sept. 1 at home vs. #8 Washington.
