Amari Goodfellow Amari Goodfellow 5'11" | 175 lbs | QB Auburn | 2023 State WA , QB, Auburn
Strong dual-threat QB that possesses savvy athleticism and playmaking ability to improvise and create. Strong armed and a very natural throwing motion to match his quick release. Demonstrates a good ability to mix up velocity and trajectory to hit his targets, shows he can drive off his back foot to zip a ball at the short and intermediate levels while displaying good touch on the deep ball. Excellent pocket presence and escape ability, he feels pressure and is able to shed defenders while keeping his eyes downfield for a receiver. Flashes good speed and open field elusiveness as a ball carrier, has the short area quickness and burst to weave through defenders and make plays with his legs on designed runs and broken plays. Should see a bump in his recruiting going into his senior year.

Dempsy James Dempsy James 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Spanaway Lake | 2023 State WA , QB, Spanaway Lake
A lot to like about James’ skillset with his combination of arm talent and athleticism. As a passer, he can hit his spots at all three levels and shows a great ability to use his body control and coordination to throw off different platforms without sacrificing accuracy or arm strength. Love his composure and mobility in the pocket to create, he’s confident making smart decisions with the football and never appears rushed or panicked under pressure. Prefers to do most of his damage with his arm but possesses savvy athleticism and good speed to be a playmaker with his legs when he needs too. In seven games this season, he threw for 1,130 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 230 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. One of the top QB’s in the state that should see some offers rolling in this offseason.

Kayde Bodine Kayde Bodine 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB Sumner | 2023 State WA , QB, Auburn Mountainview
The three year starter at Auburn Mountainview transferred to Sumner where he is an agile dual-threat QB that is equally effective with his legs as he is with his arm. He’s an instinctual QB that makes quick and decisive reads to anticipate and throw his receivers open. Possesses an accelerated over the top release to get added trajectory and velocity behind the ball despite throwing from off balanced platforms as he maneuvers around the pocket. Shows he can manipulate the pocket and oncoming pressure using his athleticism to create open throwing lanes. As a ball carrier, he flashes plus lateral agility and short area burst to make defenders miss at the LOS and second level. Only played eight games as a junior due to injury but finished with 1,200 yards and 16 touchdowns passing and 240 yards with four touchdowns rushing. Strong talent and upside as he continues to develop.
Junior season Highlights. (8 games due to minor injury)

Gabe Downing Gabe Downing 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Olympia | 2023 State WA , QB, Olympia
Downing was one of the state’s leading passers as a junior throwing for almost 2,400 yards and 29 touchdowns capped off by a 360 yard and seven touchdown performance in the last game of the season. At 6’0” 180 lbs. he possesses an over the top quick and compact release to get the ball out on time and with accuracy. Flashes the arm strength to make throws at all three levels with proper location and trajectory. Plus vision, he shows he can stand tall in the pocket going through his progression and scanning the whole field while quickly processing his reads. Showed improvement athletically and in his ability to scramble around the pocket while avoiding pressure over the course of the season. He’s a dual sport athlete (football/baseball) that is expected to see his recruiting stock on the rise as a senior.

Chance Guadiz Chance Guadiz 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Rainier Beach | 2023 State WA , QB, Rainier Beach
The First Team All-League selection threw for 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns as junior in just 9 games. He’s a strong pocket passer that throws a nice ball with an over the top deliver and a fully extended arm motion but also shows he can switch arm angles to deliver a well-timed and accurate ball. Gets the ball to his receivers in a hurry at the first and second level to allow them to make a play after the catch. Loves to throw the deep ball with good flight and trajectory allowing his receivers to run underneath. Calm in the pocket, he shows good footwork and a well-balanced throwing platform to be an accurate passer. Good ability to stand tough in the pocket and maintain his fundamentals when under pressure and knowing he’s going to take a hit. High academic prospect that’s been receiving interest from a variety of college programs thus far.
