<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='348138' first='Jayshon' last='Limar'] 6-1 205 25' Lake Stevens WA <strong>OFFERS (8) Oregon, Notre Dame, Stanford, Arizona, Arizona St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Everyone is aware of Limar with his 4* brother committing to Oregon. He came back in a big way after missing most of his sophomore year, totaling 1233 rushing & receiving yards and 14 TDs in 9 games. His 7.7 yards per carry, and 18 yards per catch average, help speak to his versatility. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='348142' first='Antoine' last='Lee'] 5-10 195 25' Kentwood WA <strong>OFFERS (2) Arizona, Colorado</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 3x 1st team all-league RB broke the schools' all-time career rushing record with 3700 yards. Lee received a few early D1 offers and has the potential of building on that this off season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='726156' first='Damari' last='King'] 5-11 180 26' Rainier Beach WA <strong>OFFERS (3) UNLV, Nevada, Montana St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>King landed his first couple D1 offers last May with Coach Reggie Jones calling him "One of those special athletes who makes plays effortlessly. And saying, "He will be talked about amongst the nation's best in due time."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='1128444' first='Max' last='Jones'] 5-11 200 26' Bellevue WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The kid out of Florida came in and killed it. Jones runs with a unique blend of speed and power, finishing with 1,133 yards and 18 TDs, and helping his team to the 3A state title. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='1165376' first='Jonah' last='Keller'] 6-0 180 26' Gonzaga Prep WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the GSL's breakout performers. Keller led the conference in yards per carry (10.4), rushing 72 times for 749 yards and 9 TDs. He was the only sophomore in the entire league to earn 1st team all-league honors on either side of the ball. Watch the film as the kid is different. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6.[player_tooltip player_id='1188104' first='Royce' last='Miller'] 5-11 185 27' Kennedy Catholic WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not a lot of people know about him yet, but they will. Miller averaged 8.1 yards per carry as a freshman on 40 carries, with 409 rushing/receiving yards, and 4 TDs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='945843' first='Akeem' last='Murph'] 5-8 170 25' Rainier Beach WA <strong>OFFERS: Arizona</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Murph is listed at RB but can play multiple spots, with his 10.7 100-meter time speaking to what he can do in the open field. Look for high end academic schools to make note of his 4.2 GPA. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='348181' first='Nehemiah' last='Washington'] 6-0 205 25' Deactur WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 4A NPSL Player of the Year is somewhat underrated in my opinion. Washington went for 1550 total yards (1350 rushing) and 19 TDs. Decatur had a good year at 8-2 largely because of him. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9.[player_tooltip player_id='693680' first='Marcus' last='Nixon'] 6-0 185 25' Squalicum WA <strong> OFFERS (3) Nevada, Army, Navy </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nixon is just a super good overall athlete who can do a variety of things. Squalicum struggled finishing 3-6, but Nixon kept them in ball games at times by himself. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='1165381' first='Reylen' last='Witherspoon'] 5-10 165 26' O'Dea WA <strong>OFFERS: Nevada </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Witherspoon initially broke out as a freshman at Garfield before making the transfer to O'Dea. He will break your ankles in space and project as more of a slot. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>11.[player_tooltip player_id='987161' first='Lance' last='McGee'] 6-0 195 26' Davis WA <strong>OFFERS: Nevada </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Mcgee will be one to watch over the off season. There is still a lot yet to be determined but he has all the potential in the world, averaging 8 yards per carry as a freshman. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>12.<strong>Jaedon Scranton </strong>6-2 220 26' Lincoln WA </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Scranton has a unique combination of size and speed, rushing for 584 yards and 7 TDs on 113 carries as a sophomore. He could potentially make a big jump up this board with continued progression. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>13.[player_tooltip player_id='1007508' first='Jacob' last='Williams'] 5-11 205 25' Seton Catholic WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It can be extremely tough to get recruited playing small school ball in the NW. Williams totaled 1500+ all-purpose yards and 21 TDs, earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state and Trico Offensive POY honors. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>14.[player_tooltip player_id='1095820' first='Indiana' last='Jones'] 5-9 175 25' Kennedy Catholic WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The conference POY put together one of the best seasons of any RB on the west coast. He did a little bit of everything, totaling 1600+ yards and 28 TDs. The undersized standout will look to help his guys to a title next season after losing in the Semi's to 4A state champ Lake Stevens. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>15.[player_tooltip player_id='348180' first='Titan' last='Brody'] 5-10 185 25' Camas WA </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brody is part of a talented family, rushing for 630 yards and 6 TDs, while averaging 7 yards per carry as a junior. The Papermakers should compete for a state title next season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>15.[player_tooltip player_id='376860' first='Nick' last='Jones'] 5-9 195 26' Eastside Catholic WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You will hear a lot about Jones the next few seasons. He's undersized but should be a featured back for what could be one of the top teams in the West. </p>
