Liufau Loumoli
Liufau
Loumoli
6'1" | 210 lbs | LB
Eastside Catholic | 2027
WA
6-1 215 OLB Eastside Catholic OFFERS (11) USC, Washington, Miami, Michigan St, Arizona St
One of the top ranked players in America for the 2027 class. Loumoli was unreal as a freshman making 54 tackles with 6.5 tackles for loss. To see a kid so physically gifted and smart at such a young age only puts an exclamation point on his unlimited ceiling.
Maurice Williams Maurice Williams 6'2" | 180 lbs | WR Yelm | 2027 WA 6-1 175 DB Yelm OFFERS: Washington St
Williams will likely be a 4* recruit and one of the nation’s top ranked athletes for his class. He could very well end up on the offensive side of the ball but is a lock down corner who garnered 2nd team all-conference honors as a freshman. It’s very rare to see a kid this polished as a 9th grader.
Ty Tautolo Ty Tautolo 6'4" | 210 lbs | DL Snohomish | 2027 WA 6-4 220 DE Snohomish OFFERS: West Virginia
The 2nd team all Wesco selection has proven himself over this early off season, landing his first of what will be numerous D1 offers. Tautolo has embraced his training at FSP which has helped propel him to be listed among the top DE’s in the West for his class.
Tayven Collins Tayven Collins 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Puyallup | 2027 WA 5-11 175 Safety Puyallup OFFERS: Nevada
Collins had an unreal freshman season, making 67 tackles, with 10.5 TFL’s, and 4 sacks from his safety spot. The Heir football standout landed his first D1 offer last May, projecting as the top safety in WA for the 2027 class and potentially one of the nation’s best.
Elias Tulifua Elias Tulifua 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB Eastside Catholic | 2027 WA 6-0 195 DB/ATH Eastside Catholic OFFERS: Louisville
Another Eastside kid who could blow up. The Crusaders went 9-3 last season but were young with numerous 4* type athletes returning. Tulifua already has his first offer and is similar in talent to highly ranked 2026 Wassie Lugolobi Wassie Lugolobi 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Eastside Catholic | 2026 State WA .
Kell Reardon Kell Reardon 6'5" | 215 lbs | DL Mt. Baker | 2027 WA 6-5 215 DL Mt Baker
Not a lot of people will know about Reardon playing small school 1A ball and still being so young. That said as he has a chance to be special with his god given size and frame. Look for him to help Mt Baker improve significantly on its 3-7 record from last year.
Adonai Ve’e Adonai Ve’e 6'1" | 245 lbs | DL Garfield | 2027 WA 6-1 225 OLB Garfield
One of the most impressive freshman in the NW. Ve’e racked up 2nd team all-conference accolades, making 72 total tackles, with 16 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks. He has outstanding size and physicality for a kid still so young. Expect numerous universities to make a move on him this coming year.
Julius Hernandez-Avila Julius Hernandez-Avila 6'2" | 215 lbs | DL Life Christian | 2027 WA 6-2 210 OLB Life Christian
This kid has made a name for himself coming up through the youth ranks. As a freshman he put up some unreal numbers, making 77 tackles, with 31 tackles for loss, and 16.5 sacks. Even playing 1A ball these stats are unheard of for a kid barely out of middle school. He is definitely someone to watch on the camp circuit against top competition .
Kase Betz Kase Betz 5'11" | 150 lbs | ATH Graham Kapowsin | 2027 WA 5-11 155 DB/ATH Graham Kapowsin
You got to like this kid’s game. Betz has been one of the underclass standouts for FSP on the 7v7 circuit this early off season. He was a legit presence for one of the state’s top 4A programs as a freshman, catching 8 passes with a TD and also making 31 tackles with 2 INTs. Phenomenal numbers considering the depth of the team.
J’Isaiah Mitchell J’Isaiah Mitchell 6'2" | DB Puyallup | 2027 WA 6-2 165 DB/ATH Puyallup
Mitchell had a breakout freshman season, finishing with 11 receptions for 166 yards and 2 TDs. His 15.1 yards per catch average and 13 total tackles on D give Puyallup a lot of hope for the future with so much young talent on the roster.
MJ Wadley MJ Wadley 6'2" | 215 lbs | DL Yelm | 2027 WA 6-2 215 DE Yelm
Wadley could be extremely influential starting next year, with Yelm graduating so much talent and success. It will be up to some of the younger standouts we have talked about to carry on their winning ways. Wadley has great size and is an outstanding overall athlete (basketball).
