Kendrick Turner Kendrick Turner 6'2" | 100 lbs | DB Kentridge | 2023 State WA – DB, Kentridge
Turner’s a playmaking Safety in the Kentridge secondary. He’s a reliable player in deep coverage that puts himself in position over the top and possesses the ball skills to create turnovers. He’s a consistent tackler at the second level that shows good range and closing speed. Turner’s a raw prospect with a high ceiling and upside.
DB, @KendrickTurn378 is a dude!
He just started playing Fball last season; before that he was 100% hoopHe started off very raw, but he has transformed into a D1 safety this offseason.
The right coach who likes to develop is gonna get a steal6’2, 175

Ethan Pletcher Ethan Pletcher 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Graham-Kapowsin | 2023 State WA – DB, Graham-Kapowsin
Pletcher’s a top-20 DB in Washington and one of the top returners for the Graham-Kapowsin secondary. He’s an aggressive tackler from his Safety spot that can shed blocks on the edge and track down ball-carriers. He plays well with his eyes cutting passing lanes, anticipating passes, and reacting to the football. He showed versatility covering deep zone and coming up into the box playing close to the LOS.
Had a blast at the Air Force Academy camp. Thank you to all of the coaching staff who helped improve my game, and show me around campus. @Coach_Thiessen @CoachTCalhoun @CoachNickToth @AF_Football @BrandonHuffman @GKHSfootball @RylandSpencer pic.twitter.com/7agXFaSahJ

Javonte Altheimer Javonte Altheimer 6'2" | 195 lbs | DB Timberline | 2023 State WA – DB, Timberline
Altheimer showed ability and versatility playing Safety and CB as a junior. He has great length and frame for either position at 6’2″/195 with fluid hips in coverage and top-end speed to run with receivers. He’s a willing tackler that serves as a reliable last line of defense on the back end. Altheimer’s another high-upside prospect with solid raw measurables.

Wyatt Gordon Wyatt Gordon 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Puyallup | 2023 State WA – DB, Puyallup
Gordon’s a physical Safety that likes to play aggressive at the LOS. He’s a rangy sideline-to-sideline tackler with a quick trigger and a nose for the football. He can roam the middle of the field sniffing out plays with instincts and closing speed. Gordon possesses rare physicality for a DB that should put him on the radar heading into his senior season.

Junus McGraw Junus McGraw 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Coeur D'alene | 2023 State WA – DB, Gonzaga Prep
McGraw flashed coverage ability and physicality as an all-league CB his junior season. He’s a smooth, patient backpedaler that shows quick change-of-direction and fluid hips turning and running downfield with receivers. He’s a reliable tackler on the edge that’s physical at the POA and delivers strong contact in space.
Please take a moment to check out my Junior Season highlights!

Rixen Daley-Ka’aihue Rixen Daley-Ka’aihue 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Silas | 2023 State WA – DB, Silas
Daley’s an underrated Safety prospect that was limited to six games his junior season. He’s a physical tackler working downhill that can force fumbles and create turnovers in the secondary. His recruitment should benefit from a full season of senior film in the fall. Daley’s added two offers from Arizona Christian and Bellarmine in June with other offers from Graceland and Puget Sound.
