Some of WA's Fastest Rising 25's DEFENSE

DEFENSE     The 2025 PRZ rankings were recently updated and released with the individuals below making noteworthy jumps up the board. Have a look at a few of those athletes and why their stock is rising.. The # denoted next to each player is where they are ranked among the 200 listed below.     <a href="https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/2025-rankings/"> https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/2025-rankings/</a>         [player_tooltip player_id='693685' first='Dre' last='Sio-Fetaui'] 6-2 225 LB Lincoln OFFERS: Arizona, Nevada #11   Been hollering this kids name for a while. Sio-Fetaui has recently added offers from the likes of Arizona and Nevada after a sophomore season where he was off the charts good for the Abes. On the year he made 92 total tackles (54 solo) with 10 tackles for loss. Look many other D1's to get in the mix over the next few months.    [player_tooltip player_id='945839' first='Jakai' last='Clardy'] 6-1 170 CB Evergreen OFFERS: UNLV, Nevada #14   Clardy had an outstanding off season, racking up multiple division 1 offers. He comes from a talented family with his brother playing at Idaho St. He will be a key addition to an Evergreen team which has a chance to compete at the 3A level.   [player_tooltip player_id='693683' first='Xavier' last='Ahrens'] 6-3 190 S Curtis OFFERS: Nevada #17   One of the best seasons of any Sophomore in Washington. As noted numerous times, I see Ahrens potentially being ranked in the top 10 before he is done. He earned 1st team all conference DB and 2nd team WR accolades last year.    [player_tooltip player_id='205682' first='Brock' last='Beaner'] 6-1 185 S Anacortes #26   The 3* Safety had an unreal off season, ranking among the very top athletes at the region's premier showcase event at Western Oregon University, with 1200 individuals in attendance. He put up one of the most ridiculous stat lines in Washington, making 90 tackles, with 19 tackles for loss, and 9 sacks. Offensively he went for close to 1500 yards and 19 TDs. I could see him being offered by some major D1 universities. He's that good.   [player_tooltip player_id='945849' first='Traevon' last='Phifer'] 6-0 210 LB Archbishop Murphy #25   It was a tough season to say the least for the Wildcats who went winless. That said as Phifer was a huge bright spot, making 51 tackles (35 solo) with 4 tackles for loss. He made one of the biggest jumps of any athlete in WA on the rankings board.   [player_tooltip player_id='693728' first='Jayden' last='Rice-Claiborne'] 6-1 185 DB Curtis #35   Rice-Caliborne was an all conference kid as a sophomore for a Curtis team that features a special 2025 class. His presence as part of FSP on the 7v7 circuit was key, showing that he can go against the best and win.    [player_tooltip player_id='693720' first='Rasaan' last='Thomas'] 6-4 190 S O'Dea #41   You will hear this kids name often in the coming months and years, especially with all of the attention that will be given to O'Dea and their high profile recruits. I project Thomas to be a top 20 prospect before he's done, earning 1st team all-conference honors as a sophomore.    [player_tooltip player_id='693729' first='Sage' last='Salopek'] 6-0 165 CB O'Dea #54   Definitely one of the more under rated kids in the state thus far. O'Dea is so loaded that's it easy to get lost in the talent pool, but Salopek has elite speed (4.39 laser) which will have numerous universities knocking at his door shortly. Look for him to make a massive jump up this board next update.    [player_tooltip player_id='945853' first='Landen' last='Kahai'] 6-0 170 DB Kennedy Catholic #55   Another kid who I could see being a top recruit when all is said and done. Kahai makes the move to Kennedy Catholic where they should compete for another state title. He impressed all off season on the 7v7 circuit.   [player_tooltip player_id='595890' first='Angelo' last='Odom'] 6-4 300 DL/OL Curtis #69   The big man continues to up his stock, projecting on the defensive side of the ball. His size and ability to move are incredibly appealing from a projection standpoint, as I could see Odom jumping 25-35 spots on the rankings board with a good season.   [player_tooltip player_id='693735' first='Romaree' last='Fleeks'] 5-11 170 DB Garfield #95   Fleeks can play. Tracy Ford calls him "one of the most instinctual DB's in the state". Look for him to have a special season for a Garfield team that could make some noise come playoff time.
