ATLANTA --Denzel Washington plans to be in the crowd Saturday when his son plays in his first college football game.
John Davis Washington, a 5-foot-10, 185-pound running back for Morehouse, will definitely play against Fort Valley State in Macon, according to his coach -- and not just because his Oscar-winning father will be watching.
"John Davis is going to be in there a lot, absolutely," Morehouse coach Willard Scissum said. "He's an explosive back who has the ability to see openings and hit creases."
The younger Washington rushed for 1,980 yards and 26 touchdowns last season at Campbell Hall High School in North Hollywood, Calif. He likely will split time with Morehouse senior Nate Zachery, who has been slowed by injury.
