Shaq advised Washington over FaceTime on how to leverage his football prowess to eventually buy a house for his mother, Brittany Lewis, who recovered from severe brain cancer. Washington recorded his first college snaps for Syracuse University against Colgate and is set to play a major role for Fran Brown in the future.⁠
