If he can do the same thing again, he will solidify himself as one of the NW's top QB's.    The conference Offensive POY as a Sophomore. Jay was lights out for most of the season, throwing for 3,251 yards and 48 TDs on 69% passing. Separate from his ridiculous stat line, he is an outstanding overall athlete who started as a freshman playing varsity hoops.    27.[player_tooltip player_id='726169' first='Nate' last='Donavan'] 6-2 190 26' Sumner WA OFFERS (1) Nevada   UPDATE: All eyes will be on Donavan to perform and lead a talented Sumner program. Expect his stats to be much improved.    Donavan didn't have great numbers but has all of the tools and could end up being special. He was the starter as a sophomore, finishing with 7 TDs/9 INTs and 797 yards passing. He will be expected to make some noise on the 7v7 circuit as part of FSP. The move from Mount Si to Sumner HS is big.    28.[player_tooltip player_id='1165381' first='Reylen' last='Witherspoon'] 5-10 165 26' O'Dea WA OFFERS (1) Nevada    UPDATE: Brother of 3* standout Reggie Witherspoon who will walk on at Oregon after receiving numerous other D1 offers. Reylen looks to be just as talented.    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.    29.[player_tooltip player_id='1165391' first='Haris' last='Arnautovic'] 6-4 295 26' T Mariner WA OFFERS (1) UNLV   UPDATE: The big man continues to add good size, recently landing his first D1 offer from the Rebels.

Lakes has dudes everywhere on D.     31.[player_tooltip player_id='987166' first='Cassius' last='Culpepper'] 6-1 190 26' Rainier Beach WA   UPDATE: One of the fastest rising recruits in the state. The standout baseball player can also play a little football, ranking as one of the fastest DB's in Washington. He has a good size and has a real shot depending on which sport he pursues.    32.[player_tooltip player_id='1165375' first='Jamirie' last='Pringle'] 6-5 215 26' Lincoln    UPDATE: This year will be telling as his 6-5 215-pound frame makes him a legit prospect.    At 6-5 Jamirie has a chance to write his own ticket. He's incredibly versatile and could be your WR/TE if not on the defensive side of the ball.    33.[player_tooltip player_id='726149' first='Anthony' last='Mancao'] 5-11 260 26' DL Liberty   UPDATE: The undersized D lineman has been an absolute tear for the Abes the last two seasons, accumulating 50+ tackles and double-digit tackles for loss. There are questions marks because of size but not talent.    34.[player_tooltip player_id='726171' first='Griffin' last='Matzen'] 6-1 275 26' C O'Dea    UPDATE: Hands down one of the most talented lineman in Washington. From a projection standpoint it will once again come down to size, likely projecting at center.    35.[player_tooltip player_id='402790' first='Greyson' last='Stevens'] 5-10 150 26' WR East Valley WA   UPDATE: Not the biggest kid but just an extremely talented football player. Stevens caught 55 balls for 1,026 yards and 12 TDs, while earning 1st team all-league honors as a 15-year-old. The sky's the limit if he continues to progress and add size.    36.[player_tooltip player_id='1165392' first='Henry' last='Gabalis'] 6-4 190 26' Safety Archbishop Murphy WA   UPDATE: The size at Safety is appealing as he could potentially play multiple positions at the next level.    Gabalis is a big, fast athlete, who can play the Safety or LB spot. The foursome of Jack Sievers, [player_tooltip player_id='987162' first='Hakeim' last='Smalls'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1165393' first='Jordan' last='Rife'], along with Gabalis, is one of the best in the NW for the 2026 class. The combination of size and speed with this group speaks for itself.   37.[player_tooltip player_id='726174' first='Israel' last='Nabors'] 5-11 160 26' Sumner WA   UPDATE: Nabors is having one of the best-off seasons of any athlete in the NW, garnering recognition on the national camp circuit as part of HEIR Football. He has competed and been equal to standout DB's [player_tooltip player_id='726165' first='Jasiah' last='Denmark'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1188077' first='Tayven' last='Collins'].    38.[player_tooltip player_id='928117' first='Jonah' last='Smith'] 6-2 275 26' DT Yelm WA    UPDATE: Smith uses his wrestling ability and overall athleticism to frustrate opponents. He will project as a 1st or 2nd team all-state D lineman.    The 285-pound heavyweight wrestling champion will rank as one of the top D lineman in Washington. He started as a sophomore for one of the top programs in the West and did well. Yelm is 37-3 with a state title covering the last 3 years and Smith will be called upon to lead the next two seasons.    39.[player_tooltip player_id='1165346' first='Shan' last='Jones'] 6-3 210 26' Mount Tahoma   UPDATE: Jones is somewhat underrated in my opinion. He makes a nice jump up the board.    Super impressive kid with good size. Jones got in the mix as a freshman and followed that up with a noteworthy sophomore campaign, racking up 65 tackles with 13 tackles for loss.    40.[player_tooltip player_id='726167' first='Phillip' last='Riley'] 6-2 280 26' DL Auburn Mountainview WA   UPDATE: Riley broke out as a freshman with 20+ tackles and followed that up nicely last season. He will be a conference POY candidate on the defensive front the next two seasons.    41.[player_tooltip player_id='1165348' first='Luke' last='Morgan'] 6-0 175 26' Skyline WA    UPDATE: Morgan jumps close to 20 spots after a phenomenal sophomore campaign. He has backed everything up on the camp circuit this summer and should thrive again this season.   Expect Morgan to be one of the top receivers in WA next season and make a significant jump up the rankings board. The 2nd team all KingCo WR moves incredibly well in space and has film which speaks for itself. His rushing and receiving TDs were clutch in their 25-22 playoff win over Puyallup, helping to set the precedent for this coming season.    42.[player_tooltip player_id='1165356' first='Jadeon' last='Scranton'] 6-2 220 26' Lincoln WA   UPDATE: 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   43. [player_tooltip player_id='748214' first='Xander' last='W Shaw'] 6-4 225 26' DE Steilacoom WA   UPDATE: Shaw has good film, showing off a unique combination of size and speed. His 49 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 18 hurries were one of the top stat lines in the NW among sophomores.    44.[player_tooltip player_id='1165351' first='Zevion' last='Watkins'] 5-9 175 26' Rainer Beach WA   UPDATE: Watkins continues to up his stock, making a significant jump up the board after a good off season.    Another athlete who could make a jump up the rankings board with continued progression. He has done well as part of FSP against most of the top competition within the region. Watkins should be considered one of the most versatile individuals in the 2026 class.   45.[player_tooltip player_id='1165398' first='Austin' last='Gilvar'] 6-3 220 26' LB Sumner WA   UPDATE: Gilvar put together one of the most impressive sophomore campaigns of any player in the state, garnering 1st team all-conference honors at LB. His 6-3 220-pound frame makes him an appealing recruit, especially still being so young.    46.[player_tooltip player_id='1354431' first='Jeremiah' last='Nonu'] 6-1 315 26' DT O'Dea WA   UPDATE: Nuno was an absolute disrupter on the interior, impressing with his power and agility. He earned 1st team all league honors as a sophomore and could climb this list quick.    47.[player_tooltip player_id='726166' first='Nolan' last='Wright'] 5-10 175 26' QB Sehome WA   UPDATE: Wright will be a 4-year starter and one of the best players ever to come out of Sehome, not named Taylor Rapp. That said as size is a question mark at the QB position.   48.[player_tooltip player_id='726147' first='Dominic' last='Flugstad'] 5-11 220 26' OL Todd Beamer WA   UPDATE: Flugstad was the conference lineman of the year as a sophomore. An incredibly impressive feat while being undersized and still so young.    49.[player_tooltip player_id='1165393' first='Jordan' last='Rife'] 6-4 180 26' Archbishop Murphy   UPDATE: Rife did an outstanding job from his OLB position, while also being athletic enough at 6-4 to run the football. As mentioned, the 2026 class at Archbishop Murphy is the real deal.    50.[player_tooltip player_id='376860' first='Nick' last='Jones'] 5-9 195 26' Eastside Catholic WA   UPDATE: 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.
