Iowa Football Adds Terrell Washington Jr. to '23 Class

Former Purdue Verbal Pledge Picks Hawkeyes Following Weekend Visit

Iowa Football added its 22nd known verbal commitment in the 2023 recruiting class Tuesday. Texas RB/ATH Terrell Washington Jr. announced his decision on social media. 

Washington Jr. (5-9, 200) visited Iowa this past weekend. The former Purdue commit spoke with HN about the stop. 

It marked the second day in a row that the Hawkeyes added to their '23 class. Illinois defensive back Teegan Davis flipped his commitment from Eastern Illinois to Iowa on Monday. 

Washington Jr. has lined up at multiple positions during his time at Wylie East, including quarterback. In ’22, he rushed for 598 yards (10.3 YPC) and nine touchdowns, and caught 42 passes for 604 yards (14.4 YPR) and 13 scores. He chipped in with 185 yards on kick and punt returns.

Purdue picked up a verbal commitment from Washington Jr. back in June. He remained in the Boilermaker fold until head coach Jeff Brohm left for the same position at his alma mater, Louisville, earlier this month.
