3A Preseason 1st & 2nd Team All State Defense

As most know, all state selections are heavily dictated by team success. If your HS program is winning, you're much more likely to receive this type of recognition. This is NOT a recruitment-based list although many of the top recruits are listed as all state athletes. Have a look at the pre-season 1st & 2nd team all state picks as of right now, along with the leading candidates for 3A Washington Defensive POY honors.       Defensive POY Candidates (#1-3)         1.[player_tooltip player_id='115328' first='Brayden' last='Platt'] 6-2 240 24' LB Yelm   One of the most decorated defensive players to come out of Washington in the last few years. The 4* LB looks like a man amongst boys much of the time, playing with a certain type of speed and physicality. He will be the overwhelming POY favorite with the defending state champs looking to repeat.    2.[player_tooltip player_id='338788' first='Isaiah' last='Patterson'] 6-3 235 24' LB Yelm    The 3*, 1st team all-league, returning state champion will likely have a year similar to his teammate Platt. He is one of the top defensive players on the west coast, and it will be borderline impossible to stop the LB's in combination with a very talented defense.    3.[player_tooltip player_id='284217' first='FA' last='Siale'] 6-4 250 26' DE 26' O'Dea   Look for O'Dea to be dominant and the youngster to blow up. Siale already holds offers from the likes of Oregon, Washington, and Utah and will be left 1v1 much of the time as the Irish are loaded at every position. As a freshman he earned all-conference honors as you can expect him to be one of the best in Washington this coming season.       1ST TEAM DEFENSE         DL [player_tooltip player_id='284217' first='FA' last='Siale'] 26' O'Dea   DL [player_tooltip player_id='158380' first='Landen' last='Barger'] 24' Yelm   DL [player_tooltip player_id='158344' first='AJ' last='Tanupo'] 24' Eastside Catholic    DL [player_tooltip player_id='338812' first='Onyx' last='Carter'] 24' Yelm    DL [player_tooltip player_id='115346' first='Elijah' last='Napihaa'] 24' Garfield    LB [player_tooltip player_id='115328' first='Brayden' last='Platt'] 24' Yelm   LB [player_tooltip player_id='338788' first='Isaiah' last='Patterson'] 24' Yelm    LB [player_tooltip player_id='273753' first='Jonathan' last='Epperson Jr'] 25' Auburn Riverside   LB [player_tooltip player_id='693685' first='Dre' last='Sio-Fetaui'] 25' Lincoln    LB [player_tooltip player_id='726154' first='Ta'ulelei' last='Mareko'] 26' Lakes   DB [player_tooltip player_id='158345' first='Kyan' last='McDonald'] 24' O'Dea    DB [player_tooltip player_id='206273' first='Aiden' last='Nicholson'] 24; Mountain View   DB [player_tooltip player_id='338789' first='Tyson' last='Weaver'] 24' Eastside Catholic    DB [player_tooltip player_id='693686' first='De'Arius' last='Hawkins'] 25' Spanaway Lake    DB [player_tooltip player_id='402799' first='Wassie' last='Lugolobi'] 26' Eastside Catholic         2ND TEAM DEFENSE         DL [player_tooltip player_id='402788' first='David' last='Schwerzel'] 26' O'Dea    DL [player_tooltip player_id='338848' first='Zach' last='Proctor'] 24' O'Dea   DL [player_tooltip player_id='693697' first='Chris' last='Hauss'] 25' Yelm    DL [player_tooltip player_id='726158' first='Apela' last='Sarte'] 26' Lakes    DL [player_tooltip player_id='726149' first='Anthony' last='Mancao'] 26' Lincoln    DL [player_tooltip player_id='656961' first='Cody' last='Thumlert'] 25' Eastside Catholic    LB [player_tooltip player_id='158333' first='David' last='Lene'] 24' Eastside Catholic   LB [player_tooltip player_id='158385' first='Kenji' last='Scanlan'] 24' Yelm    LB [player_tooltip player_id='348163' first='Carson' last='McKelheer'] 25' Eastside Catholic   LB [player_tooltip player_id='348177' first='Mark' last='Williams'] 25' Evergreen    LB [player_tooltip player_id='236617' first='Luke' last='Myklebust'] 24' Mercer Island    LB [player_tooltip player_id='115342' first='Rohne' last='Klein'] 24' Liberty    DB [player_tooltip player_id='693720' first='Rasaan' last='Thomas'] 25' O'Dea    DB [player_tooltip player_id='693689' first='Jerimyah' last='Mitchell'] 25' Garfield    DB [player_tooltip player_id='726165' first='Jasiah' last='Denmark'] 26' Spanaway Lake    DB [player_tooltip player_id='115336' first='Brandon' last='Ervin'] 24' Lincoln    DB [player_tooltip player_id='643348' first='Ambrose' last='Marsh'] 24' Eastside Catholic
