Kendall Washington, one of West Virginia’s top receiver recruits in the class of 2007 who positioned himself for playing time in spring practice, is accused of robbing a man as he slept and then shooting him twice.

“Washington denies the charges and will vigorously contest this case,” said defense attorney Jeffrey Jakmides.

It’s unclear what this means for his football future at West Virginia University, where the 6-foot-2, 192-pound Washington was in the mix to be a receiver for the nationally ranked Mountaineers this season, according to the team’s media guide.

He has no football future at WVU. Director of Football Communications Mike Montoro said Wednesday that Washington has not been a part of the program since the end of the spring semester.
