TCU safety tops all freshmen nationally with five interceptions

FORT WORTH, Texas -- The Athletic has named TCU safety Ar'Darius Washington to its Freshman All-America Team.

Washington tops all freshmen nationally with five interceptions, the most by a rookie in Gary Patterson's 19 seasons as TCU's head coach. The five picks are also the most by a Horned Frog since Chris Hackett had seven in 2014. A Shreveport, La., native, Washington placed third on TCU with 46 tackles. He had a season-high 14 stops, including one for a loss, at Oklahoma.

Washington was selected by the Big 12 head coaches as the Conference Defensive Freshman of the Year, the third Horned Frog in TCU's eight seasons in the league to receive the honor.
