Former Louisville cornerback Marcus Washington announced his transfer to Syracuse on social media Tuesday. Washington spent his freshman campaign at Georgia before transferring to Louisville in 2023.

Across his first two collegiate seasons, Washington played sparingly but was rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports. Throughout his recruiting process, new SU head coach Fran Brown was his primary recruiter at Georgia.

In his time at UGA, Washington made one tackle before entering the transfer portal. Then at Louisville, he primarily played special teams before entering the transfer portal for a second straight year on April 25.

Washington joins a Syracuse defensive backs group that includes Duce Chestnut, Jayden Bellamy, Devin Grant, Jalil Martin and Greg Delaine. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
