Sleeper Spotlight: Dallas Madison 2021 OL Semaj Washington

Many in Texas recognize Dallas Madison High School for its success in basketball and track and field. Madison isn't necessarily considered a football hotbed, but it definitely has its number of athletes.

Players like Danny Gray and Jayleen Record -- a new SMU receiver and an SMU receiver commit, respectively -- are doing their part in helping to turn Madison into a must-stop for college football scouts. One 2021 to watch at Madison is offensive lineman Semaj Washington.

After competing at the Battle of the Tanks showcase last weekend, Washington was a wall as an interior lineman. He lost few one-on-one battles, and he impressed those in attendance -- including the director of the event.

"He has a tremendous punch and has excellent lateral movement for his size," talent evaluator and recruiting analyst Justin Owens told The HillTopics.

Washington stands roughly 6-1 and tips the scales around 300 pounds. He would benefit from a solid position coach who focuses on technique, as well as a solid college strength and conditioning coach, but that also saying he's worthy of a college team at any level taking a shot on him. His strength and pad level are key assets, and he has a high ceiling.

Washington was an all-District 6-3A honorable mention selection last season. He has a twin brother, Semon Washington, who was named a first-team all-district defensive tackle.
