Texas State alum Jason Washington begins his third season coaching the Bobcats' cornerbacks. Washington brings on-field experience as a Bobcat having been a four-year letter winner for both Texas State's football and baseball teams.
This fall Washington will coach a pair of corners who return after receiving All-Southland Conference accolades in 2005 as the Bobcats won a league title and advanced deep into the NCAA I-AA playoffs. Walter Musgrove was a First-Team All-SLC selection last year while Jamarqus O'Neal was named All-SLC Honorable Mention.
He recruits East Texas as well as California junior colleges.
Washington started both as a defensive back for the football squad as well as in centerfield for the `Cats baseball team before graduating in 2002.
He was a valuable contributor all four years for the football team, posting a career-best 66 tackles as a senior. As a starter for the baseball club, he earned All-Southland Conference Tournament and NCAA All-Regional honors in 1999 as the Bobcats captured a league tournament title and played in the NCAA tournament in Waco.
Washington lettered three seasons at San Antonio MacArthur High for Coach Van Fuschak, another Bobcat alum. At MacArthur, Washington played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back. He helped the team to an 11-3 finish as a senior as the squad advanced to the regional quarterfinals. He was a first-team all-district, all-city and all-state selection his senior year. He was also listed on the Texas Top 100 and selected the 1997 San Antonio Defensive Most Valuable Player as selected by area sports writers.
In addition to earning his bachelor's degree from Texas State, Washington earned a master's degree in sports administration from Texas State in 2004.
