The GSL has gone somewhat under the radar as a conference in my opinion, with numerous athletes returning next season worthy of recognition. Spokane has produced some of Washington's top talent over the years with the 2025 & 26' guys able to play some ball. Check it..          [player_tooltip player_id='1040100' first='Brayden' last='Allen'] 6-0 175 ATH 25' Ridgeline    One of the most versatile athletes in Washington. Allen earned 1st team all-conference honors and set multiple GSL records, with 103 receptions, for 1,040 yards and 15 Total TDs. Defensively he had 5 INTs, as he will be considered one of the top two-way threats in the NW.    [player_tooltip player_id='1095818' first='Markus' last='Fetcho'] 6-6 295 T 25' Mead   Expect Fetcho to blow up this off season and be one of the top line recruits coming out of the region. He earned 1st team all GSL honors with his size and mobility speaking for itself. He will have numerous D1 opportunities.    [player_tooltip player_id='1065416' first='Landon' last='Garner'] 6-1 170 QB 25' Ridgeline   The GSL's Offensive Player of the Year. Garner went off, passing for 2200 yards and 28 TDs during the regular season. He will bring an impressive resume to the off-season camp circuit and be ranked among the top QB's in the state for his class.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165376' first='Jonah' last='Keller'] 5-11 175 RB 26' Gonzaga Prep   Keller broke out as a sophomore, with a conference leading 10+ yards per carry average, along with 9 rushing TD's during the GSL season. He helped the Bullpups go 10-2, losing a close 2nd round playoff game to traditional power Graham Kapowsin 20-14. He will project as one of the best backs in school history.    [player_tooltip player_id='1095829' first='Braeden' last='Harvey'] 6-1 215 LB 25' Mead   Harvey had a big year for a 5-5 Mead team, showing off unique instincts from his LB spot. Watch the film and you see a hitter with the ability to anticipate. He was definitely deserving of the 1st team all-league accolades.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136441' first='Mario' last='Rivera'] 6-0 205 DL 25' Gonzaga Prep    The undersized D lineman had a phenomenal year ranking among the state leaders in tackles for loss. He will project as more of a LB at the next level, earning 1st team all GSL honors.    [player_tooltip player_id='994627' first='Peyton' last='Day'] 6-2 285 OL 25' Mount Spokane   Day played the tackle spot and was super consistent all year. He was a 1st team all-conference selection, helping Mt Spokane to a 9-2 season, before losing to Garfield by 1 TD in the playoffs.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136406' first='Lance' last='Airey'] 5-9 190 OL 25' Mount Spokane   Mad respect for any 5-9 lineman who manages to rack up 1st team all-league accolades. You gotta be tough and fundamentally elite to pull that off, especially as an underclassmen. The Wildcats will be in good shape with him and Day returning up front.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136370' first='Keegan' last='Mallon'] 5-9 190 RB 25' Mead   Mallon led the conference with 12 rushing TDs during the regular season. He carried the ball 120+ times, averaging 6 yards per carry. He will once again be the workhorse for Mead next year.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165359' first='Isaiah' last='Docken'] 6-3 185 WR 26' Gonzaga Prep   You will hear a lot about Docken in the years ahead, earning 2nd team all-league honors as a sophomore. He is long and played beyond his years, scoring multiple TDs for a good Gonzaga Prep team.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136333' first='Dallas' last='Parrish'] 6-3 210 OLB 25' Central Valley   Parrish did a good job coming off the edge for a 4-6 CV team. His size and ability to cover ground was a big reason they were competitive in most ball games. He earned 2nd team all GSL honors.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136393' first='Romin' last='Saleki'] 5-10 175 DB 25' Lewis & Clark    Saleki can run the ball but was equally impressive on D. He earned 2nd team all GSL honors at DB and will return as one of the conference's top two-way threats.    [player_tooltip player_id='1136408' first='Beau' last='Butner'] 5-11 180 DB/RB 25' Central Valley    Super talented overall athlete. The 1st team all GSL Soccer player was also a 2nd team all conference DB as a junior. He will be key on both sides of the ball for Central Valley next season.
