<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='348147' first='Zaydrius' last='Rainey-Sale'] 6-3 220 25' LB Bethel WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 4* prospect is one of the top players in America regardless of position. Watch the film and see you one of the most dominant LBs in the country, who averaged 11+ tackles per game with double digit sacks and tackles for loss. His commitment to the Huskies is big after de-committing and being offered by some of the nation's top teams. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='348139' first='Demetri' last='Manning'] 6-7 340 25' T Bellevue WA<strong> COMMITTED: Oregon</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Manning was already listed as one of the top lineman in the country and was named the MVP at the All-American Combine in Texas. His overall agility is incredibly unique considering his massive size.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='693678' first='Noah' last='Flores'] 6-4 225 25' TE Graham Kapowsin <strong>COMMITTED: UCLA</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Flores is listed among the top TE's in the country with one of the fastest rising stocks. He caught 40 passes for 387 yards and 5 TDs last season, helping GK to the state title game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='348137' first='T'Andre' last='Waverly'] 6-4 225 25' TE Kamiak <strong>OFFERS (20) Michigan, Florida St, Oregon, Washington, Texas A/M</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The offers speak for themselves, and you can't teach the size and speed. Waverly's 10.6 100-meter time and overall versatility put him in a special category. That being said, his recruitment has gone somewhat stagnant. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='273753' first='Jonathan' last='Epperson Jr']. 6-0 195 25' WLB/S Auburn Riverside WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The offers speak to his game but there are questions. Epperson projects as more of a WLB but could play numerous other spots on the field. On the year he made 77 tackles with 8.5 tackles for loss. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6.[player_tooltip player_id='693682' first='Willi' last='Wascher'] 6-3 290 25' C Bellevue WA<strong> COMMITTED: USC</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wascher's ability to play multiple spots including the center position adds to his recruiting appeal. Credit to him on his decisiveness in committing to USC, as I would consider him one of the more underrated 25's in the region. Look for the 2x state champ and 1st team all-conference OL to do big things collegiately. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='348140' first='D'Aryhian' last='Clemons'] 6-0 170 25' ATH Spanaway Lake WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clemons can play 3-4 different spots at the highest level on either side of the ball. Instinctually he is a phenomenal defender with elite closing speed but may end up being too good on offense. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='348138' first='Jayshon' last='Limar'] 6-1 205 25' RB 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>9.[player_tooltip player_id='693684' first='Gavin' last='Packer'] 5-10 175 25' WR Skyview WA <strong>COMMITTED: Boise St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Maybe the most exciting player to watch in the NW and the exception to the rule from a size standpoint. Packer broke out as a sophomore, racking up 1st team all GSHL accolades, while going for over 1000+ all-purpose yards and 10 TDs as a junior. He makes a significant jump up the rankings board after garnering double digit D1 offers and committing to BSU. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='693687' first='David' last='Kuku'] 6-0 165 25' CB Kamiakin WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Washington's 4A Defensive POY. Kuku is a lockdown corner and a legit threat anytime he is in space. The Team Lillard standout had a phenomenal junior season with the Cougars potentially getting a steal with his commitment. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>11.[player_tooltip player_id='348143' first='Ryken' last='Moon'] 5-11 185 25' ATH Bellevue WA <strong>OFFERS (6) Arizona, Nevada, Army</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 1st team all-league OLB will be one of the state's best on offense next season, teaming with 2026 RB [player_tooltip player_id='1128444' first='Max' last='Jones'], and running behind an unreal offensive front. Moon's 700 all-purpose yards and 6 TDs are just a glimpse of his potential. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>12.[player_tooltip player_id='723691' first='Luke' last='Webb'] 6-2 230 25' LB Camas WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Webb made the transfer from JSerra in Cali where he had a breakout sophomore season, with 15 tackles for loss and 8 sacks. The 3* comes extremely quick and physical off the edge and will immediately help make the Papermakers be a legit 4A title contender next season. He is another potential steal for Washington St. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>13.[player_tooltip player_id='587332' first='Noah' last='Thomas'] 6-6 275 25' T Skyview WA <strong>COMMITTED: Oregon St </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is a big get for OSU. Thomas had a breakout sophomore year and earned 1st team all GSHL accolades this past season. He makes one of the biggest jumps of any athlete on the rankings board as I would consider him one of the NWs most underrated. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>14.[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 has had one of the most impressive off seasons of any athlete in the NW. He was in the MVP conversation at multiple events, including the Northwest and Southwest Showcase at Arizona St. Squalicum struggled finishing 3-6, but Nixon kept them in ball games at times by himself. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>15.[player_tooltip player_id='1136301' first='Bryce' last='Smith'] 6-1 180 25' Bellevue WA <strong>OFFERS (6) Arizona, Colorado St, Boise St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the fastest rising prospects in the region. Smith played the CB spot but projects as more of a Safety. He was key in the Wolverines recent title run, earning 1st team all KingCo honors with 45 tackles and 3 INTs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>16.[player_tooltip player_id='693846' first='Josiah' last='Asuega'] 6-4 290 25' DL South Kitsap WA <strong>OFFERS (1) Montana</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Asuega has a crazy upside, being a super athletic big man who can also be a skill athlete. I would expect him to add multiple offers in the coming months and play his best ball in college. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>17.Victor Sanchez- Hernandez 6-5 230 DE Kamiak WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sanchez-Hernandez broke out adding offers from the likes of UW, Utah, Oregon St, and Washington St, before committing to the Huskies. He was definitely somewhat of an unknown prior to that. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>18.[player_tooltip player_id='693730' first='Brady' last='Beaner'] 6-0 180 25' ATH/S Anacortes WA<strong> COMMITTED: Montana</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Brady put together one of the most impressive seasons statewide, totaling 103 tackles and 10 PBU's. Much like his brother the 3* athlete was dominant at the 2A level going for 1300+ yards on 112 touches. He will be a potential FCS All American for the Grizzlies. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>19.[player_tooltip player_id='693723' first='Jaymar' last='Tasi'] 6-2 300 25' DT Roosevelt <strong>COMMITTED: Idaho</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From a recruitment standpoint Tasi is one of the fastest rising lineman in the NW. His offer from OSU a few months back was big, as the Vandals could have just landed one of the Big Sky's best DL in the coming seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>20. [player_tooltip player_id='205682' first='Brock' last='Beaner'] 6-1 185 25' S/ATH Anacortes WA <strong>COMMITTED: Montana</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 1st team all-state, 3* athlete, put up one of the most impressive stat lines anywhere, helping Anacortes to the 2A state title. On the year he had 95 total tackles, 9 sacks, 16 TFL's, 2 INTs, and 5 PBU's. Offensively he was equally ridiculous totaling 1,542 rushing & receiving yards and 22 TDs. Him and his brother will likely tear up the Big Sky. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>21.[player_tooltip player_id='348171' first='Kolton' last='Matson'] 6-2 180 25' QB Lake Stevens WA</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Matson was named the Washington Gatorade Player of the Year and statistically was one of the most impressive QB's nationwide. On the season the 2x state champ totaled 55 TDs (49 passing) and just 6 INTs. He passed for 3,388 yards while hitting on 68% of his passes. They were absolutely dominant all throughout the playoffs, leaving no doubt in the 4A title game. Wherever he ends up collegiately he won't disappoint. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>22.[player_tooltip player_id='693693' first='Casey' last='Larson'] 6-3 200 25' Woodinville WA <strong>COMMITTED: Idaho</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Larson has ridiculous film and great size. He was the only underclassmen in the 4A KingCo to earn 1st team all-conference honors on both sides of the football, which speaks volumes. I've personally been hollering this kids name for a while. His recent offers are well deserved. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>23.[player_tooltip player_id='348141' first='Khristian' last='Norris'] 6-2 190 25' Graham Kapowsin WA <strong>OFFERS (2) Nevada, Pittsburgh</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Norris has been a reception machine over the last two years, catching 105 passes for 1,188 yards and 11 TDs. He is more of a possession receiver but does have good speed. Look for him to potentially put up some crazy numbers with D1 WRs Malachi Durant and Jabez Woods both graduating.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>24.[player_tooltip player_id='693679' first='Peyton' last='Cunningham'] 6-0 180 25' ATH North Creek WA <strong>OFFERS (2) Washington St, San Diego St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I personally think highly of Cunningham after back-to-back seasons where the film speaks for itself. The 1st team all-league athlete went for 1,053 yards and 11 TDs as a junior, and might be even better on D. He is another athlete I would consider underrated. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>25.[player_tooltip player_id='693685' first='Dre' last='Sio-Fetaui'] 6-2 225 25' LB Lincoln WA <strong>OFFERS (2) Arizona, Nevada </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 3* is a physical prospect, who continues to up his stock. He earned 1st team all-state honors, averaging 10+ tackles per game with double digit tackles for loss. This year will be telling as all the intangibles are there. </p>
