Washington chose the Ducks after placing them in his top four, which also included the Florida Gators, LSU Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners. 

Listed at 6-foot-4, 295-pounds, Washington is a four-star (0.9331) prospect on the 247Sports Composite and a top-three prospect in Arizona. The talented Arizona defensive lineman is the Ducks' first commitment in September after landing Northern California edge rusher Jaeden Moore on August 17.

Washington is a special talent due to his blend of size, speed, athleticism and motor among other encouraging traits. He's the fourth true defensive lineman to pledge to the Ducks in 2023 along with Terrance Green (Texas), My'Keil Gardner (Arizona), Tevita Pome'e (Utah).

The new Oregon staff has prioritized the state of Arizona on the recruiting trail, landing the aforementioned Gardner, cornerback Cole Martin, and now A'Mauri Washington. Oregon is happy to receive this good news after looking like the leader for Mesa (Ariz.) Red Mountain wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane before he committed to the USC Trojans.

Attention is still on the Grand Canyon State in 2023, as the Ducks continue recruiting five-star Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle tight end Duce Robinson along with Gilbert (Ariz.) Highland offensive tackle Caleb Lomu.
