Trynae Washington’s first college football scholarship offer came in January from right down Sooner Road — from Oklahoma.

Since then, the gifted receiver from Carl Albert High School in Midwest City has added offers from Iowa State and Kansas, and last week picked up his latest offer from Missouri.

Washington is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout who could eventually end up playing tight end. He’s widely projected by industry experts to choose OU when the time comes, but there’s plenty ahead of him first.

Washington is a recruit in the 2025 class. His recruiting is just now starting to heat up.

"He is heating up major," said Washington's 7-on-7 coach, Sean Cooper.

Washington's immediate goal is to stay busy this summer attending camps and taking more unofficial visits. He's been to OU twice, and he took a Junior Day visit to Iowa State.

“I’m gonna try to get out to a couple good schools, good camps, try and show out for these coaches, maybe get some more offers,” Washington told AllSooners.

He said he hasn’t chosen a field of study yet — he’s still finishing up his sophomore year at CA, so there’s still time — but he’s amped up as the process begins.

“Not necessarily nervous,” Washington said. “I’m definitely excited. It’s shocking knowing that it’s here already. Like, I remember dreaming about being offered, especially D1.”

Washington said his OU offer came as part of a group package from Brent Venables. Washington and teammates Xavier Robinson and Trystan Hayes were all together and Venables called.

“We got to talk on the phone with him, and he offered all three of us,” Washington said. “We didn’t get too loud. We kind of acted like it was casual. But it was definitely something new. It was a great experience. It felt amazing whenever he said those words.”

It took Washington back to a vibe he picked up during a camp at OU last year.

“The camp, whenever I went there, they have a lot of energy there,” he said. “The coaches are amazing. And they’re a really good school.”
