We talk a lot on Northwest athletes who have earned D1 offers, all-state honors etc.. There are numerous other individuals worthy of being mentioned who are ranked among the best in Washington. Have a look at those players and what they bring to the table.          [player_tooltip player_id='1542213' first='Jerry' last='Allen'] 6-2 180 26' CB/S Rogers- Allen has one of the fastest rising stocks in Washington recently adding offers from Montana St and Idaho. He has been a state leader in INTs over the last two seasons and brings impressive size to the CB spot.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165362' first='Koven' last='Burke'] 6-3 180 26' WR/S Southridge- Burke's combination of size and versatility make him an appealing recruit. The 3-sport athlete can play on either side of the ball collegiately, finishing with 500+ yards and 8 TD's on O, to go with 49 tackles and 7 TfL's defensively.    [player_tooltip player_id='1589206' first='Beau' last='Tampien'] 6-2 225 26' DE Mt Spokane- The 1st team All GSL D End has a chance to play and do well at the next level. He had a phenomenal junior season, making 40 solo tackles, with 11 TfL's, and 4.5 sacks.     [player_tooltip player_id='1589313' first='Will' last='Jackson'] 6-1 215 26' LB Gonzaga Prep- Jackson was a 2nd team All GSL selection last season and could make a nice jump up the PRZ rankings board with continued progression. The Bullpups will once again be one of the best in WA at the 4A level.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165354' first='Elijah' last='Muliufi'] 6-6 250 26' TE/DE Bethel- The big man has added some size to his 6-6 frame as he can catch and block equally well. As a junior he had 13 receptions for 200 yards while also adding 15 pancake blocks. His shear physicality makes him an intriguing prospect.    [player_tooltip player_id='1589318' first='Gabe' last='Borisch'] 5-10 180 26' RB Southridge- The WA state rushing champ went for close to 2000 yards, with 19 TDs on 200+ carries. On the year he averaged 8.3 yards per rush while going somewhat under the radar from a notoriety standpoint.    [player_tooltip player_id='1111004' first='Kaine' last='Aguon'] 5-10 170 26' DB River Ridge- Statistically one of the most impressive DB's in Washington. Aguon was a 1st team All Nisqually selection, making 40 tackles with 4 INTs and 8 PBU's, with zero TD's allowed all year.    [player_tooltip player_id='1590362' first='Trevelle' last='Jones'] 6-3 165 26' QB North Central- One of the most versatile athletes in WA. The 6-3-point guard earned 1st team all-conference honors at QB as a junior, finishing with 25 TD's (20 passing) while averaging an eye popping 14.5 yards per rush.    [player_tooltip player_id='1532993' first='Youngmin' last='Lee'] 6-0 175 26' QB Mercer Island- Lee was named the Kingco Offensive POY, passing for 2900+ yards and 41 TDs, while helping the Islanders finish 10-1 on the season. Their 0-10 finish two years ago made this last season even more noteworthy.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165415' first='Jayden' last='Woodland'] 6-1 165 26' ATH Puyallup- One of the more underrated players in the state. Woodland racked up 2nd team all-conference honors on both sides of the football while averaging 23.5 yards per catch with 8 TDs. Look for Puyallup to be a contender next season.    [player_tooltip player_id='1349815' first='Brayden' last='Bartoletti'] 6-0 175 26' WR/S Redmond- Another kid I would consider a big-time sleeper with Redmond going 1-9 on the year. Bartoletti was a statistical standout, catching 38 balls for 1038 all-purpose yards and 5 TDs, to go with 60 tackles on D.    [player_tooltip player_id='1146695' first='Spencer' last='Scappini'] 6-3 290 26' C/DT Hazen- The Kingco lineman of the year has freaky strength and could still project to a high level of collegiate ball. He has excelled as part of FSP and has a stock that is rising quickly.    [player_tooltip player_id='1165436' first='Case' last='Kelanic'] 6-5 175 26' WR Stadium- Not a lot of people are aware of Kelanic but the potential is there at 6-5. He caught 17 passes with 3 TDs, while averaging 14 yards per catch as a junior.    [player_tooltip player_id='1198603' first='Jaxon' last='Berg'] 6-0 175 26' QB East Valley- Berg put up good numbers again, helping East Valley to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. On the season he hit on 61% of his passes for 1,843 yards and 23 TDs.
