Washington's offense was the No. 1 scoring offense in the Pac-12 and shattered the school record for points and touchdowns.

He spent the last three football seasons working with the Old Dominion football program in his native Virginia, spending three years as a graduate assistant working with tight ends and the o-line.

Jolly signed a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010, when the spent the entire season on the practice squad. He also spent time on the Falcons' practice squad in 2011 and played for the Steelers in the 2012 preseason.

Jolly attended Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in Powhatan, Va., earning private school all-state honors as a tight end and defensive tackle. He was thought to be the first football prospect from Powhatan County ever to earn a Division I scholarship.
