Jason Brown Jason Brown 5'10" | 205 lbs | ATH ODea | 2024 State WA , 2024, ATH, O’Dea – Offer from Alabama, Michigan State
Brown pulled in two huge recent offers from Alabama and Michigan State. The second ranked overall 2024 prospect in the state now holds 14 total offers from some of the nation’s top programs including Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, and USC. He’s an elite level athlete with great versatility to play either side of the ball at RB or DB at the highest level. Shows great fluidity and all around speed to match his lateral agility and change of direction. Well-built and powerful frame to maintain balance and bring strong contact on both sides of the ball. One of the most exciting 2024 prospects in the western region that will continue to rise up national rankings and recruiting boards.
I guess it’s real to say some dreams do come true! With that said I am extremely thankful to announce I have been offered a full scholarship to play at @AlabamaFTBL ! #RollTide🔴⚪️ #TeamFSP

Trey Leckner Trey Leckner 6'2" | 215 lbs | ATH Glacier Peak | 2023 State WA , 2023, ATH, Snohomish – Offer from Colorado State, Washington State, Utah State
Leckner has recently added three offers to his list from Colorado State, Washington State, and Utah State to go along with his in-season offers from Oregon State and Nevada. His recruiting stock has continued to rise since the summer with his strong combination of size, speed, and athleticism. At 6’3” 215 lbs. he already has great natural power at the contact point with the frame to add weight as he develops. He runs well with good long speed and a sustained second gear. Love his always attacking and violent style of play. Ran for over 1,500 yards and 23 total touchdowns as a junior.

Jayden Wayne Jayden Wayne 6'5" | 240 lbs | DL Lincoln | 2023 FL , 2023, DL, Lincoln – Offer from Michigan State, Duke, North Carolina, Florida State, Minnesota
Wayne continues to stack up offers now holding a total of 41 but recently released his top 11 that include Oregon, USC, LSU, Alabama, Washington, Georgia, Auburn, Miami, Florida, Texas, and Michigan State. He’s an exceptional athlete at 6’5” 245 lbs. with a rare combination of speed, quickness, and explosiveness. He’s extremely fast off the ball and makes excellent use of his long reach/hands when disengaging and shedding blocks. Still holds a lot of untapped raw potential but has a great foundational skillset to build on to be an elite college player and eventually NFL prospect.

Jasiah Wagoner Jasiah Wagoner 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB Spanaway Lake | 2023 State WA , 2023, DB, Spanaway Lake – Offer from Oregon State, Arizona, Utah State
Wagoner is an elite level corner out of Spanaway Lake that has been collecting offers his entire career but most recently added Oregon State, Arizona, and Utah State to bring his total 13.

Hogan Hansen Hogan Hansen 6'6" | 220 lbs | TE Bellevue | 2024 State WA , 2024, TE, Bellevue – Offer from Washington, Oregon State
Hansen saw an uptick in his recruiting stock over the past few weeks with two Power 5 offers coming in for the big 6’6” 220 lb. sophomore TE. He was first offered by Arizona as a freshman then was able to add Washington in late January followed by Oregon State. Already possesses a lot of physical traits colleges look for in a TE with his size, length, and growth potential but its his ability to be effective as a receiver and blocker that sets him apart. He’s a natural pass catcher with great hands and body control to track and adjust to the ball while coming down with tough contested catches in traffic. In the run game, he’s a physical force that plays with good leverage and balance at the POA to drive opponents off the ball.

Kade Eldridge, 2023, ATH, Lynden Christian – First offer from Washington State
Eldridge kicked off his recruiting with an offer from Washington State last week. The 6’5” 240 lb. jumbo athlete is a difference maker no matter where he lines up. He was offered as a TE but as a junior he racked up almost 800 yards of total offense with 11 touchdowns and had an impressive 15 TFL’s, 4.5 sacks, and 63 total tackles on the defensive side. He’s a pure athlete that flashes speed, lateral agility, and short area burst both as a ball carrier and edge rusher. His recruiting process is just getting started but he’s been receiving some high D1 attention for a while and this Power 5 offer could springboard his recruitment going into his senior year offseason.
Extremely thankful to receive my first D1 offer from Washington State University. All thanks to God and to the many people that helped me get to where I am @CoachDickert @CoachK2x4 @WhitworthN @RealMG96 @TFordFSP @BrandonHuffman @RyanClaryFSP @alecsimpson5 #TeamFSP #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/38pwZUepEw

Rahshawn Clark Rahshawn Clark 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Garfield | 2024 State WA , 2024, ATH, Federal Way – Offer from Arizona
Arizona was the most recent offer for one of the top 2024 prospects in the state. He now holds six total offers including Utah, Washington, Oregon State, Washington State, and FAU who was the first to offer him going into his freshman year. He’s a gifted athlete with exceptional natural talent given his ability to be an explosive playmaker in all three phases. He’s fluid and shifty in the open field using his quick twitch, change of direction, and top end speed to make defenders miss in the open field. Flashes great ball skills, he anticipates well and attacks the ball with plus body control and coordination. He’ll be national recruit when all is said and done.

The junior DB out of Federal Way already had offers from Nevada, Oregon State, and Virginia Tech prior to being offered by Arizona last week. At 6’2” 170 lbs. he’s got ideal length, speed, and fluid athleticism to be a lockdown corner at the Power 5 level. He’s physical in coverage, especially at the LOS where he can effectively use his hands to gain leverage. He flashes a smooth transition and great leg drive out of his back pedal to break on the ball and make a play at the catch point. Plays well with his eyes and shows good route recognition and anticipation.

Alexander pulled in his second Power 5 offer from Arizona after first being offered by ASU in late November. The 6’3” 205 lb. OLB out of Kennedy Catholic has great length and positional versatility to be effective in coverage and as a force guy in run support. He has good range and lateral mobility to play sideline to sideline while also flashing good closing speed on the ball. He uses his hands well to disengage from blocks and free himself up to make tackles at or behind the LOS. Strong foundational skillset to build with great upside and potential at the major D1 college level.

Cooper Jensen Cooper Jensen 6'5" | 210 lbs | TE Glacier Peak | 2023 State WA , 2023, TE, Glacier Peak – Offer from Utah State
The big 6’5” 210 lb. TE committed to Oregon State midseason but continues to collect offers after picking up Utah State last week. The recent offer brings his total to four with Tennessee and Arizona rounding out his list so far. He’s a strong technical route runner with great hands and ball judgement to make contested catches in traffic. Good release move off the LOS and is savvy in how he creates separation. Love his ability to stretch the defense using his speed and length to extend and catch the ball at the high point. Also does a good job using his size to gain positional leverage and box out defenders to make a play on the ball. Despite his commitment to the Beavers we project that the offers will continue to roll in.
Honored to receive an offer from Utah State!!@FrediKnighten pic.twitter.com/8dc9SbikvK

He’s quick and shifty in the open field and has a strong sustained second gear to finish off long runs in the endzone. He’s a three sport athlete with exceptional all around athleticism that includes a 41.5 vertical leap, a 4.46 40 time, and over a 10 foot broad jump.
