Offensive line shaping up to be Govs’ strength in 2011

August 10, 2011 |

APSU Sports: Men’s Football

Clarksville, TN – When J.P. Washington stepped off the scale, his face was filled with disappointment.

Quickly, Washington recovered from his disappointment. He knows it is just a small pothole in a road that saw him work diligently all spring and summer long to get his weight under control. If nothing else, it was a reminder to him to stay focused both on and off the field in preparation for the 2011 season.
