Waverly's 10.6 100-meter time and overall versatility put him in a special category. The 4* is one of the most recruited kids in America at his position.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='693678' first='Noah' last='Flores'] 6-4 225 25' TE Graham Kapowsin&nbsp;<strong>OFFERS (10) Tennessee, Washington, Arizona, Michigan, Penn St</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Flores has one of the fastest rising stocks among TE's in the country.

It's still yet to be determined what side of the ball he will end up on, but he can play at the highest level on either.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='407173' first='Austin' last='Simmons'] 6-5 220 25' TE West Albany</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the fastest rising prospects in the region. Simmons put up some of the best numbers in the West among TE's, catching 39 passes for 718 yards and 8 TDs. His 18.3 yards per catch average speaks to his ceiling, in combination with his size and versatility (OLB) .&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='426922' first='Andreas' last='Nicolaidis'] 6-4 225 26' TE Central Catholic <strong>OFFERS (1) Colorado St</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nicolaidis can be expected to make a significant jump up the rankings board with continued progression.

At 6-7 his upside and size speak for itself. There is still a lot yet to be determined playing 1A ball, but you can't teach what he brings to the table.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='1112466' first='Vinny' last='Arnold'] 6-4 220 26' TE West Salem&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not a lot of people know about Arnold yet, but he could end up being one of the top two-way players in the state for the 2026 class. Look for the Titans to be a top 10 team next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='1110964' first='Cole' last='Newton'] 6-3 200 26' TE Tualatin&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The T-Wolves have a talented 2026 class and Newton could be the best of the bunch. With continued progression and some added size, he could very well be similar to former Tualatin standout Richie Anderson, now at Fresno St.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9.[player_tooltip player_id='1136315' first='Carter' last='Cocke'] 6-4 230 25' TE Sumner&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cocke had a big junior season, earning 1^st&nbsp;team all SPSL honors, while catching 20+ passes for 400 yards and 8 TDs. His size and ability to go get the ball separates him from others.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='693681' first='Malaki' last='Davis'] 6-5 215 25' TE Garfield&nbsp;<strong>OFFERS (1) Nevada</strong>&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis has great size with a 77" wingspan, landing that early offer. The intangibles are there to play a high level of collegiate ball but there are still question marks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='987160' first='Damaad' last='Lewis'] 6-4 240 26' TE Bellevue&nbsp;<strong>OFFERS (1) Nevada&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big man did well defensively and should play a primarily role at TE for the next two years, with 4* Michigan commit [player_tooltip player_id='115338' first='Hogan' last='Hansen'] graduating. Lewis has gone somewhat under the radar thus far.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
