2009 Countdown: #80 Quinton Washington

Quinton Washington will be a true freshman offensive guard in the fall. He's 6'3", 315 lbs. . . . and a true freshman. As with Schofield, it is extremely rare for a true freshman offensive lineman to contribute, especially when he's blocked by four guys with starting experience (David Moosman, Steve Schilling, Tim McAvoy, and John Ferrara). That roadblock might disappear somewhat after this season, with the graduation of Moosman and McAvoy and the impending decisions for Schilling and Ferrara of whether to return for fifth year status. Expect him to have only slightly better seats than you for Michigan's home games this year.
