Transfer Portal: 7-foot Warren Washington has SEC, ACC, Calling

Any time a 7-footer enters the transfer portal, college program’s interest will be piqued. On March 22, Nevada junior Warren Washington entered the transfer portal, and the coaches started calling almost immediately.

Washington averaged 10.5 points on 60.8-percent shooting last season. He also led the team in rebounding (6.6) and blocked shots (1.2) while starting 20 of 22 games played and knocking down 73.2-percent of his free throws.

On3 caught up with the 7-foot center from Escondido, California, to see which schools have been talking with him over these last few days.

I hear from NC State, Pittsburgh, LSU, Florida, BYU, Notre Dame, Missouri, Illinois, Butler, Washington, Arkansas, Arizona State, Marquette, and some more,” Washingon told On3.

Warren Washington started his college career at Oregon State, where he averaged 1.3 points in 7.8 minutes per game. He transferred to Nevada, where he sat a year and played two. Washington averaged 10.2 points and 6.2 rebounds through his two years at Nevada.

Coming out of San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills High, Washington, had offers from Butler, Boise State, California, Utah, and Rutgers.

This will be Washington’s second transfer. He should have one year of true eligibility and his optional COVID year.
