Ben Hunter, Emerald Ridge High School, 6-0 160 SR
Ben Hunter has a total of 8 interceptions for the season of 2021. This is tied with J.C Jackson, formerly with the New England Patriots, and second for most interceptions in the NFL. Ben has an excellent understanding of route concepts and does a great job of reading the Quarterback’s eye in order to make a play on the ball. His instincts as a Ball Hawk make him an elite defender who deserves attention from D1 or D2 schools.

Nick Strecker, Manson High School, 6-0 175, SR
Nick Strecker is an electric athlete who is always around the ball making plays. Nick collected 7 Interceptions while also returning multiple interceptions for touchdowns. Nick’s coverage ability and speed make him an elite athlete. From his Free Safety position, one can constantly see Nick making big-time interceptions, tackles, and shutting down the opponent’s passing threats. The tenacity and skill that Nick possesses make him a valuable impactful asset to have for any D1 or D2 School.

Dalton Kilmer, Forks High School, 5-11 140, SR
Dalton Kilmer is an excellent athlete who plays with a fire in his heart. Dalton’s 7 interceptions this year helped propel his team to their first playoff appearance in 20 years. Being from a small school Dalton is committed to making big-time plays while making a name for himself. His ability to make plays on the ball and love for the game are what sets him apart from the average football player. I highly recommend that schools consider adding Dalton to their roster this fall.

Colton Bower, North Kitsap High School, 6-2 171, SR
Colton is a strange addition to this list as he amassed his 7 interceptions all while having the ability to play the outside linebacker position. Darius Leonard from the Indianapolis Colts recorded 4 this year. This attests to his impact on the football field. Having the ability to fit his gaps in the run game while also dropping in coverage is a sought after skill with linebackers. He offers the best of both worlds for any D1 or D2 School that would consider adding him to their roster. It would be a valuable addition.

Jason is a multiple sport athlete who is incredibly productive on both sides of the ball. This past season Jason pulled in 7 Interceptions making it clear that He is a difference maker on defense. His instinct, size and skill allow for him to make big time plays on a regular basis. His production throughout the years is a testament to the impact that he is able to have on a roster. Jason is certain to be a find for any school that he chooses to play for.
