Despite missing three Bay League games due to injury, Leuzinger safety Dijon Washington orally committed to the University of Nebraska, Leuzinger coach Deon Toliver said Monday.

Washington, who earned All-Bay League honors for the second straight year, also had offers from Oregon State, San Diego State, Washington and Washington State and was being heavily pursued by Arizona State.

Toliver said that Washington was rated as the No. 2 safety in the state and is a top 100 prospect nationally.

"I think last year's highlight film got him a lot of those offers," Toliver said. "It was like, 'Don't die' and you'll be OK. He's one of those guys, one of those top players who was going to have a choice of colleges."
