Washington Transfers From Long Beach CC to USC as Wide Receiver

Al Washington, the 1982 Los Angeles City Player of the Year in football while attending Carson High, has transferred from Long Beach City College to USC.

Washington, a 6-1, 180-pounder, will play wide receiver at USC, according to Coach Ted Tollner. Washington played quarterback at Long Beach CC last year and wide receiver in 1983.

As a high school senior, he played quarterback, passing for 1,779 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushing for 400 yards and eight touchdowns. As a high school junior, he played wide receiver, making 44 catches for 918 yards and nine touchdowns.

Tollner also announced that two recruited high school players--inside linebacker Dan Quinn of San Dieguito High in Encinitas, Calif., and cornerback Desmond Moreland of Carson High--have decided not to enroll at USC.
