CFB: Ohio State DB Donald Washington leaving for pros

Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Defensive back Donald Washington is the latest Ohio State player to give up his final year of eligibility for the NFL.

Washington announced his decision Thursday. He joins tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells and wide receiver Brian Hartline among Ohio State juniors who will make themselves available for the NFL draft in the spring.

Washington, from Indianapolis, had 99 tackles in three seasons with the Buckeyes.

Washington will graduate in June with a degree in communications.
