<p><strong><br>SUMMARY:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='402792' first='Legend' last='Galeai'] started as a freshman and has the potential to be big time. [player_tooltip player_id='1165423' first='Brady' last='Jay'] of Moses Lake was the Big 9 POY as a sophomore, throwing for 3,251 yards and 48 TDs on 69% passing. From a RB standpoint both [player_tooltip player_id='1128444' first='Max' last='Jones'] and [player_tooltip player_id='987161' first='Lance' last='McGee'] have stocks which are rising quickly. Jones was outstanding this past season, helping his team to the state title, while rushing for 1,133 yards and 18 TDs. McGee was offered by Nevada last summer and is a physical back who can run. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Positionally the WR's & ATH's are the most talented group listed. [player_tooltip player_id='726175' first='Brody' last='Bocek'] had an unreal sophomore season catching 65 passes for 1,027 yards and 14 TDs for Richland. [player_tooltip player_id='726155' first='Tristan' last='Baker'] broke out as a freshman while accounting for 731 yards and 6 TDs as a sophomore. Skyline WR [player_tooltip player_id='1165348' first='Luke' last='Morgan'] is one of the fastest rising WR's in the class, racking up 2<sup>nd</sup> team all Kingco honors with an impressive post season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The ATH's referenced are all division 1 prospects, with [player_tooltip player_id='402787' first='Asa' last='Thompson'] likely being a 4* and one of the most recruited kids in the country at his position. [player_tooltip player_id='402796' first='Oteko' last='Mwamba'] will break your ankles in space and should add a handful of additional D1 offers shortly. [player_tooltip player_id='726156' first='Damari' last='King'] transferred to a solid Puyallup program as they could be one of 4A's best in the years ahead. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>TE [player_tooltip player_id='987160' first='Damaad' last='Lewis']' recent offer from Washington puts into perspective how good he could be, likely projecting as more of DE.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Looking at the lineman you once again have to account for O'Dea. They will feature one of the top line groups in the West for the 2026 class, with two potential 4*s on D in Siale and Schwerzel. Offensively [player_tooltip player_id='726171' first='Griffin' last='Matzen'] is expected to have a big year with [player_tooltip player_id='726157' first='Kingston' last='Fotualii'] having an outstanding sophomore season at guard and earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference honors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='726172' first='Inoke' last='Pomale'] is a massive human and has all the potential in the world. If he can continually improve from a mobility standpoint he will have a legit shot at the next level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The undersized [player_tooltip player_id='726147' first='Dominic' last='Flugstad'] was fundamentally elite and super impressive as a sophomore, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league honors. Mariner HS went 2-8 last year and has struggled overall as a program, but [player_tooltip player_id='1165391' first='Haris' last='Arnautovic'] is a huge bright spot and possibly the most recruitable lineman in the 26' class. </p>
