He has top 10 potential and will likely rank as one of Washington's top sophomores in 2025. Mount Tahoma teammate [player_tooltip player_id='985352' first='Briytan' last='Bailey'] will combo nicely with Kennedy, after a phenomenal 9th grade year on both sides of the ball at the Varsity level. He went for 850 all-purpose yards and 4 TDs with 57 tackles and an INT on D.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the QB spot [player_tooltip player_id='1615861' first='Sawyer' last='Hayes'] of Gig Harbor and [player_tooltip player_id='1613160' first='Brady' last='Bonnell'] of Tahoma both look legit. Hayes started as a freshman and threw 15 TDs with Bonnell garnering significant praise from top trainer Tracy Ford and FSP.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Don't sleep on [player_tooltip player_id='984864' first='Jordan' last='Meas'] who will possibly lead one of the top teams on the West Coast in the years ahead in Eastside Catholic.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensively the 2028' class has some nice DB's coming up. Baseball standout [player_tooltip player_id='1339204' first='Brayden' last='Seiber'] of Kennedy Catholic will be one of WA's top dual threats, catching 11 passes with close to 200 total yards, while making 8 tackles with an INT.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moses Lake Safety [player_tooltip player_id='1530880' first='John' last='Rainey'] put up some ridiculous numbers as a freshman, finishing with 100 tackles while racking up 1^st&nbsp;team all-conference honors. North Kitsap's [player_tooltip player_id='1338121' first='Townsyn' last='Walsh'] was a 2nd team all Olympic League DB.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='984860' first='Colton' last='Terry'] of Tumwater has a big upside playing for a top program, and coming from a talented family with his brother Austin Terry playing TE at Boise St.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a handful of lineman who are also noteworthy and should be recognized among the best in the state for their class. [player_tooltip player_id='985356' first='Solova'a' last='Steffany'] will project as a multiyear 1^st&nbsp;team all-state selection, while possessing elite strength.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1616383' first='Taumaoe' last='Misikei Tusi'] and [player_tooltip player_id='987105' first='Zion' last='Ulugalu'] of Lincoln can play on either side of the ball, but size will likely have them on D at the next level. [player_tooltip player_id='1338208' first='Marley' last='Malotumau'] of Puyallup is the real deal with Rainier Beach featuring a pair of standouts in [player_tooltip player_id='1615683' first='Anthony' last='Dunston JR'] and Jonah Kopesi. Dunston JR was an all-conference selection as a freshman.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Other individuals who could fly up the charts include [player_tooltip player_id='1335521' first='RJ' last='Ward'], [player_tooltip player_id='1337973' first='Inoke' last='Crosby'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1012408' first='Kaden' last='Johnson'] of Bellevue. All three should excel as part of FSP.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='984904' first='EJ' last='Tonga'] of Union started at WR as a freshman and will be a big part of the schools future. [player_tooltip player_id='986441' first='Raziah' last='Patterson'] of Yelm is another wideout who could do well playing for a program who continues to reload. Watch what he does on the 7v7 circuit.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Additional RB's who got in the mix as freshman include [player_tooltip player_id='987104' first='Malcolm' last='Akuffo'] of Emerald Ridge, [player_tooltip player_id='1615868' first='Brady' last='Broders'] of Kamiakin, and [player_tooltip player_id='1615867' first='Kainoa' last='Brown'] of Mercer Island. Akuffo is a beast at 5-9 225, putting up some of the best numbers anywhere among 28's. On the season he carried 123 times for 714 yards and 8 TDs (5.8 ypc).&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Broders averaged close to 100 yards per game with a handful of TDs for a traditional top 10 program in Kamiakin, with Brown leading his Mercer squad as a freshman averaging 8.7 yards per carry with 7 TDs on the year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
