Darrien Washington enters her third season at Nebraska in 2016-17. After redshirting as a true freshman in 2014-15, Washington made her first contributions on the court in 2015-16. The 6-2 post from Oakland, Calif., showed her explosiveness by scoring 20 points and pulling down 19 rebounds in 39 total minutes of action on the season.
