The Valparaiso University football program will be represented by Robert Washington (Huntersville, N.C. / East Gaston [Old Dominion]) at a Pro Day hosted by Charlotte in Charlotte, N.C. on Friday, April 1.

Washington, who earned All-Pioneer Football League First Team honors each of the last two seasons and was the Spring 2021 PFL Offensive Player of the Year, is one of nearly 25 individuals expected to display their skills for attending professional scouts.

Following registration and meetings, Pro Day activities are set to begin between 8-9 a.m. Eastern Time (7-8 a.m. Central Time) at Jerry Richardson Stadium.

Washington finished the Fall 2021 season with 1,105 rushing yards, the second-highest output in program history behind 1,358 by Jeff Horton in 2005. He became just the third 1,000-yard rusher in Valpo lore and tied the program record for single-season rushing touchdowns with 14. Despite playing only 17 games in a Brown & Gold uniform, the North Carolina native finished with 1,758 career rushing yards, a total that ranks ninth in program history.

Washington finished the season ranked 12th nationally in all-purpose yards per game at 131.27. He ranked ninth in the FCS nation in rushing TDs, 10th in rushing yards per game (100.5) and eighth in total rushing yards.
