Kent State is having a huge weekend on the recruiting trail. After landing 3-star S Juantez McRae last night, the Golden Flashes landed another verbal from 2-star RB Myles Washington.
Back in the summer we interviewed Myles and he told us how excited he was to receive an offer from Kent State. He recalled the moment very specifically.
"I actually was on my home from a baseball game when my friend, Raekwon James, told me to call Coach Gamble. When I called coach, he told me that I had an offer and I just had to send him my test score and GPA. I got a call from him the next day and told me that I officially had an offer from Kent State."
Washington announced his decision on his Twitter page Sunday afternoon.
