<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1599605' first='Khiel' last='Jackson'] 6-0 165 WR Rainier Beach</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The honorable mention all-conference WR had a good year also doing a decent job at the CB spot. We will see if he can continue to excel on the camp/7v7 circuit this off season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1599609' first='Matthew' last='Kuder'] 6-4 240 OL Seattle Prep </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is still a lot yet to be determined here, with Kuder being a good overall athlete, and playing multiple spots on both sides of the football. He has legit size at 6-4, earning honorable mention all-Metro honors on the offensive front. Seattle Prep has some talented kids returning with him and Jr. Matthew Riley leading on the line. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1599608' first='Logan' last='Fahey'] 6-5 210 TE Bishop Blanchet</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6-5 sophomore averaged multiple catches per game and will be key next season for a Bishop Blanchet team who graduates 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference WR's [player_tooltip player_id='1582188' first='Mason' last='Mandell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1582198' first='Hans' last='Hoerschelmann']. Fahey was an honorable mention all-league selection. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1568792' first='Parker' last='Heeter'] 6-4 215 TE Liberty</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Heeter played varsity ball as a freshman and had an outstanding sophomore season, catching 16 balls for 158 yards and 3 TDs. The baseball standout has an appropriate last name. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1605386' first='Luke' last='Parker'] 5-10 175 ATH/QB Puyallup</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Parker is an outstanding overall athlete who ended up taking over the QB spot and hitting on 75% of his passes. On the year he finished with 16 TDs/3 INTs, while also averaging 7 yards per carry. The Vikings finished the year strong winning their last 5 games before falling to Chiawana in the playoffs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1247668' first='Sayon' last='Rias'] 5-8 165 WR/DB Auburn</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rias still has a lot to prove being undersized but the potential is there for him to be one of the top slot/CB's in the conference next year. He will have an opportunity to prove himself as part of FSP this off season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1602822' first='Payton' last='Phillips'] 6-3 260 OL Moses Lake</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the better sophomore lineman in the state. Phillips had a big year, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all-Big 9 accolades. He can play multiple spots up front but will likely project more on the interior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='928131' first='Davin' last='Kirkwood'] 5-8 155 WR Yelm</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kirkwood projects as one of the top juniors in the conference next season, recently excelling as part of FSP. He should immediately get in the mix and be able to contribute for a top Yelm program. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1599602' first='Miller' last='Kavanaugh'] 6-0 205 FB/LB Seattle Prep</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-Metro FB might project more on the defensive side of the ball. That said as he had a solid sophomore campaign, helping Seattle Prep to a 7-4 record. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1604472' first='Esquire' last='Williams'] 6-1 170 QB Todd Beamer </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beamer can feel good about the future with Williams leading at QB. As a sophomore he earned 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-league honors for a 4-5 Titans team. He has good size and could climb this list quick. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1599623' first='Nehemiah' last='Tupua'] 6-2 280 OL Evergreen</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fundamentally Tupua is elite and incredibly strong for a young lineman. He will project on the interior putting together some impressive film, while earning 2nd team all GSHL honors in the process. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1605535' first='Jace' last='Carson'] 6-3 240 OL West Valley </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Carson was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference sophomore, helping West Valley go 11-1 at the 2A level. The potential is there for him to be influential at the next level with continued growth and progression. </p>
