WA 4A Preseason All State (2025-26) 1st & 2nd Team "D"

We are still 5+ months away from the season getting started, but here we take a quick look at next year's preseason all-state teams on offense & defense. Please note a few of the key components as it relates to the selection process which most are already aware of..  3A will be up next.    *If you play for a winning program, you are much more likely to be selected as an all-state athlete. It's even more impressive if you are on this list and play for a team or in a league that has struggled.    *This is NOT a recruiting based list. You can have multiple offers and not be a 1st team all-state kid.    *You will see additional 1st & 2nd team all-state selections instead of 3rd team or honorable mention picks.          1ST TEAM D   DL [player_tooltip player_id='402789' first='Derek' last='Colman-Brusa'] 26' Kennedy Catholic   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1568782' first='Adel' last='Dorr'] 26' Issaquah    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1544388' first='Shaun' last='Griffith'] 26' Sumner    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1589203' first='Cooper' last='Daines'] 26' Mead    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1165398' first='Austin' last='Glivar'] 26' Sumner    LB [player_tooltip player_id='936091' first='Colby' last='Johnson'] 26' Eastlake    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1589190' first='Garrett' last='Miller'] 26' Mead    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1568794' first='Drenden' last='Knaevelsrud'] 27' Mount Si    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1576633' first='Dillon' last='Titialii'] 26' Sumner    DB [player_tooltip player_id='928074' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] 27' Yelm   DB [player_tooltip player_id='726165' first='Jasiah' last='Denmark'] 26' Puyallup    DB [player_tooltip player_id='984781' first='Markel' last='Newell'] 28' Puyallup    DB [player_tooltip player_id='726174' first='Israel' last='Nabors'] 26' Sumner    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1589207' first='Jacobe' last='McClelland'] 26' Gonzaga Prep    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] 27' Kennedy Catholic          2ND TEAM D   DL [player_tooltip player_id='1576623' first='Elijah' last='Wallace'] 26' Emerald Ridge    DL [player_tooltip player_id='928117' first='Jonah' last='Smith'] 26' Yelm    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1599632' first='Jeremiah' last='Leumuava'] 27' Graham Kapowsin    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1530860' first='Quinncey' last='Ratteray'] 26' Graham Kapowsin    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1589347' first='Brady' last='Knowlton'] 26' Chiawana    DL [player_tooltip player_id='1576631' first='Jereme' last='Scott Jr.'] 26' Curtis    LB [player_tooltip player_id='584705' first='Adonai' last='Ve'e'] 27' Kentwood    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1530869' first='Hunter' last='Hixson'] 26' Skyline    LB [player_tooltip player_id='985355' first='Amosa' last='Masaniai'] 28' Emerald Ridge    LB [player_tooltip player_id='1555731' first='Jason' last='Armbruster'] 27' Mount Si   LB [player_tooltip player_id='1568793' first='David' last='Dudko'] 27' Skyview    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1589218' first='Jack' last='Pierce'] 26' Gonzaga Prep    DB [player_tooltip player_id='726175' first='Brody' last='Bocek'] 26' Richland   DB [player_tooltip player_id='726151' first='Dante' last='Saladino'] 26' Kennedy Catholic    DB [player_tooltip player_id='726176' first='Landon' last='Thomas'] 26' Mead    DB [player_tooltip player_id='1092123' first='Isaiah' last='Olson'] 26' Glacier Peak   DB [player_tooltip player_id='1615830' first='Cooper' last='Cissne'] 28' Chiawana         DEFENSIVE SUMMARY: Defending state champ Sumner returns four 1st team all-state projected athletes and will have a legit shot of repeating next season. Conference POY [player_tooltip player_id='1544388' first='Shaun' last='Griffith'] is back at DE with [player_tooltip player_id='1165398' first='Austin' last='Glivar'] rising quickly on the PRZ rankings board as a 2x 1st team all-conference selection.    Fellow backer [player_tooltip player_id='1576633' first='Dillon' last='Titialii'] gives the Spartans an elite 1-2 punch at the LB spot, with CB [player_tooltip player_id='726174' first='Israel' last='Nabors'] adding a handful of D1 offers in recent months. His stock continues to rise.   [player_tooltip player_id='402789' first='Derek' last='Colman-Brusa'] is the state's #1 recruit, with many of the nation's top universities such as Ohio St, Oregon, and USC vying for his services. His Kennedy Catholic teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] is one of the fastest rising prospects in the NW, recently adding an offer from Sac St.    Look for the Greater Spokane League to be feature as much talent as anybody heading into next season. 6-4 225-pound LB [player_tooltip player_id='1589190' first='Garrett' last='Miller'] returns after earning 1st team all-state and GSL Defensive POY honors. His 6-5 250-pound teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1589203' first='Cooper' last='Daines'] gives Mead a dominant duo to lead up front.    Speaking of rising stocks, 6-5 DE [player_tooltip player_id='1568782' first='Adel' last='Dorr'] could be a double digit D1 offer athlete before he's done, with LB [player_tooltip player_id='936091' first='Colby' last='Johnson'] of Eastlake having a special junior year and looking good out of the backfield as well.    CB [player_tooltip player_id='1589207' first='Jacobe' last='McClelland'] could be the best out of all the returning talent in the GSL. He was one of four juniors in Washington to earn 1st team all-state honors last year.    That said as Puyallup DB's [player_tooltip player_id='726165' first='Jasiah' last='Denmark'] and [player_tooltip player_id='984781' first='Markel' last='Newell'] are lockdown, division 1 athletes who will have the Vikings ranked in the top 10. Denmark is a well-known 3* prospect with Newell looking like Budda Baker at times. He already holds offers from Washington and Arizona St as a freshman.    2027 standout [player_tooltip player_id='928074' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] will be ranked among the top DB's on the West coast and a potential 4*. 6-4 195-pound LB [player_tooltip player_id='1568794' first='Drenden' last='Knaevelsrud'] of Mount Si was the only sophomore to earn 1st or 2nd team all KingCo honors last year, which speaks to his upside.
