Washington, a former standout at Karr, missed the final few weeks of spring practice for academic reasons. He played six games in his LSU career, all of them coming late in his freshman season in 2015.

Washington missed last season after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during preseason camp. He participated in his first practice since the injury during Day 1 of spring drills on March 11. During the first four spring practices, Washington was running behind Andre Anthony and Sci Martin at the buck position, a hybrid edge rushing spot normally occupied by Key.

Washington was a part of LSU's 2015 recruiting class which signed only one other defensive lineman in Arden Key and no linebackers.

Key is currently rehabbing a shoulder surgery and is expected to miss time during fall camp which starts on July 31st.
