2023 Rankings Risers: ATH

<em>Breaking down the stock-risers at the ATH position in PRZ’s latest <a href="https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/2023-rankings/">Washington 2023 Player Rankings</a>. [player_tooltip player_id="333660" first="Kade" last="Eldridge"] has picked up five P5 offers since March and [player_tooltip player_id="155600" first="Trey" last="Leckner"] recently committed to Washington St. in April. [player_tooltip player_id="155615" first="Ryder" last="Bumgarner"] and [player_tooltip player_id="87430" first="Charles" last="Brown"] are underrated prospects that should see their first offers come in soon.</em> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="333660" first="Kade" last="Eldridge"]- ATH, Lynden Christian</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Eldridge is a unique athlete at 6’5”/240 with high upside in his size, athleticism, and versatility. He’s a dynamic athlete on both sides of the ball that could end up playing either TE or DE for a P5 at the next level. He’s a one-cut, physical RB that’s difficult to tackle in space with his combination of size and speed. His body fits the TE position where he’s a natural hands-catcher and has ability to make plays after the catch. He sets a physical edge from his stand-up DE spot with good lateral movement and ability to read the backfield and shed blocks. One of PRZ’s top 10 overall players in Washington, Eldridge has picked up offers from USC, Washington, Michigan, Cal, and Oregon St. since March.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">LA round ✌️June 16th-19th <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FightOn?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FightOn</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LincolnRiley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LincolnRiley</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachZachHanson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachZachHanson</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RealMG96?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RealMG96</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TFordFSP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TFordFSP</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RylandSpencer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RylandSpencer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeamFSP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TeamFSP</a> <a href="https://t.co/StPKwF10Rb">pic.twitter.com/StPKwF10Rb</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="333660" first="Kade" last="Eldridge"] (@eldridge_kade) <a href="https://twitter.com/eldridge_kade/status/1519092082291339264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 26, 2022</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrLA%20round%20✌️June%2016th-19th%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/FightOn?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw#FightOn/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/LincolnRiley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@LincolnRiley/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachZachHanson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachZachHanson/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/RealMG96?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@RealMG96/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/TFordFSP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@TFordFSP/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@BrandonHuffman/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/RylandSpencer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@RylandSpencer/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeamFSP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw#TeamFSP/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/StPKwF10Rbpic.twitter.com/StPKwF10Rb/a/p—%20Kade%20Eldridge%20(@eldridge_kade)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/eldridge_kade/status/1519092082291339264?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwApril%2026,%202022/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="155600" first="Trey" last="Leckner"]- ATH, Glacier Peak</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The Washington St. commit totaled 1,550 yards and 23 TDs in his junior season. He’s a strong, powerful, physical athlete at 6’3”/215 that makes plays at his RB/OLB positions. He’s a punishing runner that can produce explosive plays taking carries or catching screens out of the backfield with good vision and downhill speed. He’s a violent tackler off the edge that can rush the passer and make plays behind the LOS. Leckner has other offers from Oregon St., Colorado St., Utah St., Nevada, and Army.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ready for my next chapter, heading east with this chip on my shoulder. 110% committed!!!<a href="https://twitter.com/shanedKeck?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@shanedKeck</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDickert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDickert</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachK2x4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachK2x4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/WhitworthN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WhitworthN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/__CoachMorris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@__CoachMorris</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachRegalado?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRegalado</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Ryan_Clary_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Ryan_Clary_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TFordFSP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TFordFSP</a> <a href="https://t.co/4knzvTUgQQ">pic.twitter.com/4knzvTUgQQ</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="155600" first="Trey" last="Leckner"] ’2023 (@TreyLeckner) <a href="https://twitter.com/TreyLeckner/status/1512212466393964544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 7, 2022</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrReady%20for%20my%20next%20chapter,%20heading%20east%20with%20this%20chip%20on%20my%20shoulder.%20110%%20committed!!!a%20href=https://twitter.com/shanedKeck?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@shanedKeck/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachDickert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachDickert/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachK2x4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachK2x4/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/WhitworthN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@WhitworthN/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/__CoachMorris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@__CoachMorris/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachRegalado?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachRegalado/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@BrandonHuffman/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/Ryan_Clary_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@Ryan_Clary_/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/TFordFSP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@TFordFSP/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/4knzvTUgQQpic.twitter.com/4knzvTUgQQ/a/p—%20Trey%20Leckner%20’2023%20(@TreyLeckner)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/TreyLeckner/status/1512212466393964544?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwApril%207,%202022/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="155593" first="Leo" last="Pulalasi"], ATH, Lakes</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Pulalasi is a natural athlete that posted over 1,300 yards and 18 TDs playing RB/WR last season.

He’s a fast, physical runner with good balance and compact quickness. He moves well in tight spaces and packs a strong stiff arm. He’s an instinctive player in coverage that shows timing and ball skills jumping routes with 6 INTs last season. He’s an aggressive downhill tackler and a heavy hitter in the run game. Bumgarner is slightly undersized at 5’9”/185 but has D-I athleticism, physicality, and playmaking ability. He could be due for his first offer in the coming months. </span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Please check me out!

He’s a smooth route runner that can create mismatches with his size and speed. He’s a committed run blocker that generates power and punch out of his stance and does well picking up blocks at the second level. He provides a physical presence on defense as an ILB that can fill holes up the middle and possesses the lateral speed to make tackles on the outside. Brown has underrated upside in his physicality and versatility and should generate serious interest with a strong senior season.</span> <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2GW5Gd">Junior Highlights</a>
