CBS Sports has named new Miami Hurricanes guard Tru Washington as one of the best defensive guards in the nation.
CBS Sports ranks Tru as the No. 3 defender in the country, just behind Tamin Lipsey of Iowa State and Jaden Bradley of Arizona.
Here’s what CBS Sports writer Isaac Trotter had to say about Washington:
“Washington walks on the floor wanting to take your ball. His anticipation and defensive feel are pretty high-level stuff. Washington has notched a steal percentage north of 4.0 in back-to-back seasons for a takeaway-driven New Mexico defense. Washington transferred to Miami to be Jai Lucas’ defensive ace.”
Tru is checking all the boxes that Miami needs for this season. He brings experience as an older player and provides the strong defensive presence the Canes are looking for to improve their defense compared to last year.
Washington is a highly athletic player with an impressive wingspan that allows him to guard a wide range of opponents—exactly what Miami needs. Jai Lucas and the coaching staff dug deep to secure this talented defensive player.
