As a Blue Hen: Speedy guard...great defender who also has a 40-inch vertical leap.

2002-03 Season: Appeared in 22 games as a rookie, playing double-digit minutes in 10 of those games...sparked a late-rally when he had a season-high 10 points at Siena (snapped an 0-for-20 shooting slump with two big three-pointers down the stretch)...missed most of the month of February after separating his shoulder against William & Mary...returned for the regular season-finale against Towson, scoring five points in 16 minutes, and appeared in both CAA Tournament games.

High School: Two-time all-conference honorable mention selection and three-year starter at Edward White HS...graduated from Edward White in 2001, but was not recruited (partly because his team had four coaches in four years)...he is the first player from Edward White HS in 11 years to earn a basketball scholarship at a Division I school...played a season of recreation league ball and was mentored by former Clemson guard Grayson Marshall (Marshall later called Delaware coaches to put them onto Washington)...named MVP of the Johnny T. Smith Tournament in 1999...honor roll student and earned team's scholar-athlete award for highest GPA on the team.
