Tony Washington, who enjoyed a four-year career as a wide receiver in the National Football League, is in his first season on the ECU staff as the offensive quality control coordinator.
After putting together an outstanding collegiate resume at Appalachian State from 2009 to 2013, Washington spent the majority of his professional career with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Indianapolis Colts in 2014, Washington was picked up by the Jaguars later that summer before being acquired by the New England Patriots in 2017.
Washington was a multi-selection to All-Southern Conference squads while at ASU and was chosen to play in the NFLPA Collegiate Senior Bowl. He earned a number of accolades for his performance in the classroom, including SoCon All-Academic, Capital One All-District Academic and ADA FCS All-Star Academic honors, along with being the 2013 recipient of the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Award & Scholarship. Washington was a Dean's List student at ASU who also captured the school's Science Building Most Outstanding Student Award.
In the community, Washington has served in mentorship and coaching roles for the Cheryl Littlejohn Kids Camp, Danny O'Brien Elite High School Football Academy and the Jacksonville Jaguars Community Outreach Program. In 2015, he served as a special guest speaker and receivers coach for the Nike Opening Orlando event.
Washington, who prepped at T. Wingate Andrews High School in High Point, N.C., earned dual bachelor's degrees in architecture & design technology and construction management from Appalachian State in 2013. He graduated with a 3.83 grade point average.
