Jeremiah is a top 100 player in the state and arguably the best player in the entire NWC. He absolutely dominates on both sides of the ball. His strength overpowers a lot of offensive lineman, making him a force in the backfield. He wraps up really nicely and has great speed off the edge. Offensively, he is the teams starting quarterback. He is great with his feet and is very hard to bring down in open field. His arm was improving as last year progressed, I’m excited to see where he’s at after an offseason of training.
Nolan Wright
Nolan Wright
Nolan impressed the whole league last year starting as a true freshman. He makes plays with his legs, being able to scramble and make players miss with his agility. His arm is fantastic. He can sit in the pocket and hit his receivers in stride or even roll outside the pocket and deliver a dime that way. With sophomore Andre Watson Andre Watson 5’11” | 180 lbs | WR Sehome | 2025 State WA being his main target, those 2 could cause a lot of damage.
Andre displayed his talents last year in many, many different ways. He is extremely quick on the field with the ball in his hands, he can easily use his agility to juke defenders out of the way and sprint right by them. His concentration is next level. He focuses on the ball better than anyone in the state and he ca re-adjust in a split second. He’s a lockdown corner, having multiple pick 6’s where he reads the quarterbacks eyes perfectly. Make sure to keep an eye on Watson, a big year is incoming.
Highlights
Joey Brown
Joey Brown
Joey has great size for the quarterback position, standing 6’3/4″ and weighing about 200 lbs. He is very athletic, using his legs very often and using them well. He had 12 rushing touchdowns to go along with 600 yards on the ground. He consistently put his body on the line to help his team win. He threw for over 1,100 yards through the air and 11 passing touchdowns too. He led the team all the way to the state championship game and with most of his key pieces returning, he should have another big year.
Marcus Nixon
Marcus Nixon
The Storm have produced a plethora of talent over the last couple years, even at the running back position. With Nixon, he could easily join the list of one of the best backs to play at Squalicum. He is fantastic with the ball in his hands. He had over 800 yards rushing and over 200 yards receiving to go along with 12 total touchdowns. He should be getting more touches next year, so it should raise his numbers. After receiving an offer to the University of Nevada already, he could have quite a bit of choices on where to attend after high school come his senior yer.
