2B Eastern Washington-East Top Athletes: Offense

This article contains some prolific athletes from the East Side of Washington State. The size of their program has not deterred their drive for excellence or stifled their athleticism. They have overcome the challenges of small programs, making them great prospects in their classes. <strong>Caleb Serfey, </strong>Tri-Cities Prep High School, 6-1 160 QB Class of 2024 Caleb is a phenom of an athlete. As a sophomore, Caleb put up tremendous numbers as a varsity squad member. It is quite rare for underclassmen to earn starting roles yet it is rarer for underclassmen to be as productive as he has been. This past year Caleb threw for over 2,700 yards and 33 Touchdowns. He did so with accuracy as he completed 60% of his passes accruing a near 100 QB passer rating. Additionally, Caleb proved to be equally efficient as a ball carrier rushing for a near 500 yards. Recording 3,200 yards as a freshman is breaking records and needs to be acknowledged. As a true gun-slinger with notable accuracy, his skill set offers great promise to many FBS schools in the future. As he progresses through high school one can expect him to improve both his technical game and become more of a leader. He is certainly a prospect to watch in the next few years. <strong>Ajani Fornos,</strong> River View High School, 5-8 155 QB Class of 2023 Ajani is an athlete whose size is the least of his concerns. Ajani consistently performs well utilizing his underdog mentality to fuel his game. As a Junior, He collected a total of 2,100 + all-purpose yards showcasing his ability to make plays with every opportunity. With an exceptional completion rate of 59% and 23 passing TDs, not to mention his 600+ rushing yards and 9 rushing TDs, Ajani makes defenses cover every blade of grass on the field. His abilities would allow for him to be productive in both a QB role and a RB role if an opportunity would arise for him to continue his football career. Nevertheless, this year Ajani is aiming to put an exclamation on his Season and makes scouts notice him. I would not be surprised to see him be an impact starter in the next few years. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13427653/Ajani-Fornos">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13427653/Ajani-Fornos</a> <strong>Miguel Farias, </strong>River View High School, 5-9 180 RB Class of 2023 Every good coach knows that to have an effective pass game you need an effective run game. Miguel is an ELECTRIC running back who has the incredible numbers to prove it. In his junior season, Miguel ran for 1,830 Yards more than the NFL rushing leader Jonathan Taylor who had 1,811. To further highlight Miguel’s production it’s important to note how many times he found the endzone. Miguel scored a total of 21 Touchdowns while Jonathan Taylor scored 18. The production that Miguel had helped get his team a spot in the playoffs this past season. Moving forward Miguel aims to get yet another productive season to his belt and make his name known to college scouts. Teams looking to add a solid running back should look no further than Miguel. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15359881/miguel-farias">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15359881/miguel-farias</a>
