Northwest Grizzlies Receiving Multiple Division I Offers

Members of the football senior class at Wichita Northwest High School have a lot in common. They all open more mail than a fourth-grade pen pal. Northwest finished as a runner-up in the 2019 5A State Title Game. Nine members of the 2021 Grizzly Football Roster earned spots in the Kansas Preseason Class of 2021 Top 200. Eight of those players have been flooded with recruiting materials and could end up signing commitments with Division I programs. <strong>DB, [player_tooltip player_id="35353" first="Wetu" last="Kalomo"], 6’1”, 195 (Ranked No. 12)</strong> – Kalomo is a cover corner who runs a 4.46 forty. He thrives in the powerful Grizzly defense and has incredible ball-hawking skills.  Kalomo has and will continue to receive DI offers. <strong>RB, [player_tooltip player_id="35356" first="Julius" last="Bolden"], 5’11”, 190 (Ranked No. 15)</strong> – Bolden rushed for more than 1,500 yards in 2019. He has good hands and is a weapon catching screen passes. <strong>OL, Zach Daher, 6’4”, 180 (Ranked No. 16)</strong> – Daher posts impressive weight room measurables and it shows in his play. He is strong enough to push the opposition around but also quick enough to fly by blockers. He also works hard in the classroom with a 3.6 GPA. <strong>DB, [player_tooltip player_id="35360" first="Todrick" last="McGee"], 5’11”, 170 (Ranked No. 19)</strong> – McGee arguably could be the best all-around athlete at Northwest. He has an impressive combination of speed and strength. He has and will continue to receive DI offers. <strong>LB, [player_tooltip player_id="35364" first="Jacob" last="Younkman"], 5’10”, 195 (Ranked No. 23)</strong> – Younkmann is an intelligent linebacker who provides solid coverage against the passing game. He runs a 4.6 forty. He is strong and smart enough to maintain gap responsibilities, but quick and dangerous on blitzes. <strong>TE, [player_tooltip player_id="35373" first="Mason" last="Ross"], 6’3”, 210 (Ranked No. 32)</strong> – Ross is the second highest-ranked primary tight end in the Preseason Top 200 for the Class of 2021. He is a big target with soft hands. He has played multiple positions, but his size and strength point towards playing tight end at the next level. <strong>WR, [player_tooltip player_id="35374" first="Davin" last="Simms"], 5’11”, 175(Ranked No. 33)</strong> – Simms could play both sides of the ball depending on a program’s needs. <strong>DL, [player_tooltip player_id="35488" first="Nathan" last="Hale"], 6’3”, 215 (Ranked No. 149)</strong> – Hale has a hard-working motor and does not give up on plays. He could be a dominant defensive player at the junior college level.
