Washington appeared in every game for the Red Raiders throughout his four-year collegiate career. He became an anchor on the defensive line and was a starter in every game but that of his freshman year.

 

He concluded his time at Texas Tech with 38-career starts, all of which were consecutive since the 2016 season finale. Washington boasted the second-highest amount of career starts on the defense and third-most on the team.

Washington led all defensive linemen with 39 tackles -- including 5.5 that went for a loss -- posted 2.5 sacks to go along with seven quarterback hurries, a fumble recovery and two pass breakups.
