Caedmon Crader Caedmon Crader 6'6" | 285 lbs | OL Evergreen | 2024 State WA , OL, Evergreen
Crader saw his recruiting stock skyrocket in May pulling in four big time offers from Miami, Arizona State, Washington and UNLV. At 6’6” 265 lbs. he possesses a well-balanced frame with great growth potential as he continues to develop. He’s a plus athlete that shows excellent natural movement skills and bend coming out of his stance. Good feet, he flashes the foot quickness and lateral agility to match movement and is effective getting to the second level. Athleticism also shows in his defensive end skillset and in pursuit. Colleges love his strength on contact, he drives with power and has a great anchor to shut down an oncoming bull rush. Still a lot of untapped potential and will continue to climb rankings and recruiting boards nationwide.

Marquise Thorpe-Taylor Marquise Thorpe-Taylor 6'5" | 315 lbs | OL Mount Tahoma | 2024 State WA , OL, Mount Tahoma
Marquise checks a lot of boxes as a major D1 OL prospect with his combination of size, athleticism, and toughness. At 6’5” 300 lbs. he’s a violent finisher that uses his strength and power to overwhelm opponents at the contact point. Plays with leverage and generates power through his hands and lower half to drive opponents off the ball in the run game and dominate the LOS. Flashes good mobility and foot speed executing different blocks in space and working to second level defenders. High motor and effort guy that fights and sustains through the whistle. Picked up his first offer from Arizona earlier this month but is underrecruited to this point and should see a significant increase in attention as the recruiting cycle continues into his junior year.

Pule Leatigaga Pule Leatigaga 6'3" | 305 lbs | OL Garfield | 2024 State WA , OL, Garfield
A lot to like about the 6’4” 305 lb. guard out of Garfield. Does a good job combining his natural ability with his technique to win one on one battles and finish off his opponents. He comes hard off the ball and is quick to get his second step in the ground to generate power and strike through the DL. He’s balanced at the POA with a strong base to accelerate his feet through contact and explode his hips. He’s efficient with his movement and does a great job taking angles to his blocks to establish positional leverage. He’s physical, tough, and can finish with tenacity with the ability to move people once he’s engaged. Voted First Team All-League he should see a rise in his recruiting with the size and ability to be a quality D1 recruit.

Carson Osmus Carson Osmus 6'6" | 285 lbs | OL Camas | 2024 State WA , OL, Camas
At 6’6” 250 lbs. and an impressive natural skillset Osmus is one of the top 2024 prospects in the state currently without an offer. Good weight distribution in his athletic frame with ideal length and growth potential as he develops and matures. Flashes excellent mobility, athleticism, and bend to fire out of his stance and be a great blocker in space. Strong at the POA he drives his feet through contact while playing under control and in balance throughout the play. Shows quick and active hands with good placement and extension to deliver a powerful initial punch. Love his ability to pull and get out on front of screens. High ceiling prospect that will see his recruitment on the rise going into his junior season.
Check out my mid season highlights. Can’t wait for league play! @RylandSpencer @BrandonHuffman @PapermakersArmy @AndrewNemec pic.twitter.com/GzsRgMXxQI

AJ Tanupo AJ Tanupo 6'4" | 285 lbs | DL Eastside Catholic | 2024 State WA , DL, Eastside Catholic
Tanupo has had good start to his career at Eastside Catholic showing year over year technical improvement while also adding size/weight now at 6’4” 275 lbs. He has maintained his athleticism, mobility, and explosiveness to make plays as they are developing at or behind the LOS. Quick first step out of his stance allows him to gain positional leverage early and diagnose run/pass. Great upper and lower body strength in addition to his hand usage helps him disengage from blockers to free himself up to make a tackle. He’s violent at the contact point and shows good short area burst to pursue or rush the passer. He’s one of the top defensive linemen in the state and recently picked up his first offer from Arizona early this month.

Onyx Carter Onyx Carter 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Yelm | 2024 State WA , DL, Yelm
Carter continued to show good upside and potential as a sophomore. At 6’3” 210 lbs. he’s a plus athlete with good length and room to add weight to his lean frame. He’s an active and attacking edge rusher that can use his quickness and athleticism to work around blockers or fight through contact with good leverage and a high motor. Savvy with his movement he possesses good change of direction, lateral quickness, and burst to close to redirect and chase sideline to sideline. He stays balanced and drives his legs through contact to be strong and powerful at the POA. Reliable tackler that wraps up to the ground and is tough to break once he gets his hands on the ball carrier. He’s a three sport athlete (football/basketball/track) that has the skillset and frame to have a break out junior season.
