Defensive Players of the Week

The defensive standouts this week are all very good all-around athletes with the ability to make an impact on both sides of the ball, and some of them did just that. Here's a look at the top defensive players of the week: &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87376" first="Tristan" last="Warner"], <em>ATH, Bellarmine ’22<img class="size-medium wp-image-202842 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/09/Densmore_Jack_LBJvsLibertyHill_PRZ_0010.png" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></em> Warner was a beast on both sides of the ball, as he is also listed as an offensive top performer. Along with his production on offense, he was able to rack up 12 tackles, force a fumble, and recover a fumble. Very good athlete with solid position versatility, as he's proven to make a major impact on both sides of the ball. &nbsp; <strong>Ryan Jenkins</strong>, <em>DB, Ridgefield ’22</em> Jenkins had an INT and blocked a punt to help Ridgefield secure a 35-0 win over Hockinson. This was a huge performance to upset and take down a talented Hockinson squad. He's a  lanky CB at 6'0" 150lbs and flashes solid closing speed and is strong at the POA. He's also a reliable WR for Ridgefield, and solid all-around athlete. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="87333" first="Drew" last="Carter"], <em>ATH, Lake Stevens ’22</em> Carter was able to snag an INT and recover a fumble, playing a major factor in that 20-3 win over O’Dea. He's a big time player on both sides of the ball and possesses a good football IQ. Solid instincts and reaction to fly to the ball and possesses excellent ball skills. Carter shows solid closing speed all-around with nice range to cover the field. A dynamic athlete that continues to turn heads, as we should see him add to his 5 offers, barring he continues along the same trajectory. &nbsp; <strong>Trayce Hanks</strong>, <em>ATH, Lake Stevens ’22<img class="size-medium wp-image-136931 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/04/PRZ-Generic-Helmets-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></em> Hanks is another very dynamic player for Lake Stevens and is a playmaker on both sides of the ball. He's a speedy and rangy CB at 5'7" 175lbs with solid technique. He flashes loose hips with good COD to open the gate and run with receivers or break on the ball. He flashed good recovery speed as he was able to break up a deep post against O'Dea. He did a great job reading he QB's eyes to leap up and pick off a fade for his INT. &nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id="115328" first="Brayden" last="Platt"], <em>LB/RB, Yelm ’24</em> Platt was another standout on offense as well, but was able to recorded a huge pick six to help Yelm beat Timberline 38-20. Platt showed an excellent understanding of zone responsibilities and play flow on his INT and read the QB's eyes well. Yet another two way standout that continues to make an impact,. &nbsp; &nbsp;
