Finally, Northwestern's 2014 recruiting class is finished.
The Wildcats have added a commitment from two-star defensive end Xavier Washington, according to his Twitter account:

Washington, who visited campus in Evanston this week, was considered by many recruiting analysts to be a Wildcat once NU offered. Scout's Steven Goldstein first reported the news, and two 247 experts picked Washington to end up at NU and his Hudl highlights called him an NU commit.
Yet another Texas recruit, Washington's highlights show great playmaking ability, but he is only 6-foot-1, so some bigger names passed him up. He had offers from North Texas, Air Force and Houston.
