Fresno State : Perhaps the team's best cover man ... has at times served as the team's jumper on kicks ... very athletic player ... missed the end of the 2003 season but is returned at 100 percent for preseason practice ... expects to figure significantly in the team's ability to shut down the vertical passing game. (2003) Played in eight games, making six starts ... made 36 tackles, 27 of them solo ... notched two interceptions during the regular season, one against Oregon State and the other vs. Portland State ... registered one tackle for a loss and four pass breakups ... missed the final six games of the season with a hand injury suffered against Rice. (2002) Played off the bench in 12 games and started the Silicon Valley Football Classic win over Georgia Tech ... provided one of the snapshot moments of the season when he blocked a short San Diego State field goal try as time expired, preserving a Bulldog victory ... made 16 tackles and had one pass breakup. (2001) Redshirted.

High School : Played on the USA Today's No. 2-ranked Long Beach Poly team that finished 14-0 ... a first-team all-CIF, all Dream Team, Prep Star all Region Team, all Southwest Team and First Team all-league selection ... comes from the same high school that produced former Fresno State great Omar Stoutmire, now of the New York Giants, and former Bulldog tight end Jeremy Johnson, a Freshman All-American in 2000.

Personal : Born May 2, 1983 Long Beach, Ca .... Mother's name is Melissa Miller and father's name is Raymond Washington .... Has a brother, Travon, and three sisters, Erica, Zakeya and Raven ... Favorite athlete is Deion Sanders ..... Lists his biggest athletics thrill as the first time he returned an interception for a touchdown and the big block to win the game against San Diego State ....
