2022 Rankings Risers: Offense

<em>With the release of the updated WA 2022 rankings, here’s an in-depth analysis of several offensive players who are climbing rankings and recruiting boards nationwide.</em> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87313" first="Mark" last="Nabou"], OL, O’Dea</strong> Ideal combination of size and mobility at 6’4” 330 lbs. He’s a violent finisher with the ability to overpower opponents with his natural strength and size. He explodes his hips and drives his legs through contact flashing great balance, leverage, and pad level out of his stance and through the whistle. He mirrors defenders well and does a great job picking up blitzes and stunts. Recruiting exploded this summer with offers coming in from some of the top programs in the country including Texas, Texas A&amp;M, Michigan, Washington, and USC. He has all the tools to be an elite offensive lineman at the major D1 level. <strong><img class=" wp-image-186927 alignleft" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/08/IMG_5020.jpg" alt="" width="233" height="175" /></strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151855" first="Hall" last="Schmidt"], OL, Peninsula</strong> Schmidt has continued to improve and it has shown with his rise in rankings and recruiting boards this offseason. At 6’7” 300 lbs. he possesses exceptional length with room to add weight to his frame without sacrificing his athleticism/mobility. Shows excellent feet and natural movement skills for his size with his ability to execute different blocks and be an effective blocker at the second level and on the perimeter. Love his hand usage and placement flashing great extension with a strong initial punch to control defenders. Well coached with good technique and fundamentals. Committed to Boise State in early July and has an extremely high ceiling at the college level as he continues to develop. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87389" first="Jordan" last="Dwyer"], WR, Puyallup – Idaho St.</strong> Big time playmaker in all three phases at Puyallup but projects as a WR at the college level. Combines his natural ability and strong fundamentals/technique to be a complete receiver that can attack the defense at all three levels. Exceptional ball skills and adjustment ability allow him to snatch the ball out of the air and make highlight reel receptions. He’s an advanced route runner that does a good job setting up and selling his routes at the break point. Possesses good top end speed and lateral quickness to extend the play after the catch. Has picked up four FCS offers this offseason from Idaho State, Idaho, Montana State, and Portland State. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="151885" first="Bo" last="Graham"], TE, Woodinville</strong> [caption id="attachment_181568" align="alignright" width="177"]<img class=" wp-image-181568" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/08/Screen-Shot-2021-08-08-at-3.04.03-PM.png" alt="" width="177" height="179" /> Photo: [player_tooltip player_id="151885" first="Bo" last="Graham"] Twitter[/caption]Good size and length at 6’4” 220 lbs. with strong growth potential as he matures. Already an outstanding blocking TE but has continued to develop as a pass catcher. As a blocker, he comes hard off the ball with a flat back and good leverage to get a strong push off the LOS. He brings his hips and feet upon contact to finish his blocks with power at the POA. Very effective blocker in space, he can easily reach to the outside and get to LB’s at the second level. Picked up his first offer from FCS Davidson in June with the potential to add more with a big senior season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="87373" first="Ashaki" last="Davis"], ATH, Rainier Beach</strong> Impressive two-way player with great versatility and explosive athleticism. Flashes good speed, burst, and lateral agility with the ball in his hands. Strong natural ball skills, he shows good judgement and competes for every ball thrown his way. He’s a creative route runner that can use his acceleration and start/stop speed to gain separation and slip by coverage. Gets involved in the offense in a variety of ways. Still waiting on that first offer but is a very recruitable prospect with his ability to impact the game in all three phases.
