The NW's Top Offensive Lineup (2028)

Here we take a look at the 2028 class and the best lineup we could put together on each side of the ball within the Northwest. There is a lot we still don't know with the athletes still being so young but have a look at some of the standouts as of right now..          QB [player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] 6-3 205 Graham Kapowsin WA OFFERS (4) Oregon, Washington, Ariz St, Miami    QB [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] 6-0 170 Crescent Valley OR OFFERS (1) Sacramento St   QB [player_tooltip player_id='984867' first='Jayden' last='Baum'] 6-2 190 Evergreen WA OFFERS (1) Sacramento St   RB [player_tooltip player_id='685329' first='Deondriel' last='Paine'] 6-1 210 Roosevelt WA   RB [player_tooltip player_id='928181' first='Marcus' last='Ronquillo'] 5-9 170 Yelm WA   RB [player_tooltip player_id='1076647' first='Kade' last='Laraway'] 5-9 180 Mountainside OR   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1226917' first='Kaeden' last='Weaver'] 6-3 175 North Creek WA OFFERS (1) Oregon St   WR [player_tooltip player_id='985511' first='Kaicen' last='Carter'] 6-3 195 Federal Way WA OFFERS (3) Washington St, San Diego St, Sac St   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1609636' first='Brock' last='Estes'] 6-5 175 Tualatin OR   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'] 6-5 190 Valley Catholic OR   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1609788' first='Knox' last='Smith'] 6-2 160 Crescent Valley OR   WR [player_tooltip player_id='984711' first='Maxten' last='Cook'] 6-1 175 Lake Stevens WA   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'] 6-2 165 Graham Kapowsin WA OFFERS (2) Nevada, Sac St   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1126329' first='Luke' last='Bergmann'] 5-9 160 Tualatin OR   TE [player_tooltip player_id='1003593' first='Tytan' last='McNeal'] 6-5 205 Eastside Catholic WA OFFERS (11) Washington, USC, Miami, Tennessee, Cal    OL [player_tooltip player_id='985356' first='Solova'a' last='Steffany'] 6-1 290 Graham Kapowsin WA OFFERS (1) Portland St   OL [player_tooltip player_id='985353' first='Ofa' last='Taufalele'] 6-2 315 Life Christian Academy WA OFFERS (2) Washington   OL [player_tooltip player_id='984903' first='Calvin' last='Middendorf'] 6-2 270 Lake Stevens WA   OL [player_tooltip player_id='985358' first='Cale' last='LaFountaine'] 6-5 290 Orting WA   OL [player_tooltip player_id='1609771' first='Peter' last='Stanley'] 6-4 270 Summit OR   OL [player_tooltip player_id='1616383' first='Taumaoe' last='Misikei Tusi'] 6-1 320 Lincoln WA   OL [player_tooltip player_id='987105' first='Zion' last='Ulugalu'] 6-1 280 Lincoln WA           OFFENSIVE SUMMARY: The QB spot looks like a strength in the NW for 2028 with [player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] projecting as one of the top prospects in the nation for his class. The SPSL South Offensive POY put up ridiculous numbers as a freshman, throwing for 2,443 yards and 27 TDs/9 INTs.    [player_tooltip player_id='904208' first='Zeke' last='Thomas'] looks like Oregon's #1 recruit while also projecting as a D1 baseball guy. He passed for 28 TDs/4 INTs at the Varsity level, accumulating 2,503 yards. Last but not least [player_tooltip player_id='984867' first='Jayden' last='Baum'] out of SW Washington, who was phenomenal as well, helping one of the fastest rising programs in the region go 8-2. He threw for 2,050 yards and 21 TDs on 75% passing.    [player_tooltip player_id='685329' first='Deondriel' last='Paine'] out of Roosevelt contributed as a freshman and can play on either side of the ball. Yelm has another good one with a familiar name in [player_tooltip player_id='928181' first='Marcus' last='Ronquillo']. He went for 546 yards and 6 TDs and also made 32 tackles on D.    Positionally the WR/ATH's might be the most talented with three individuals already holding offers and the rest likely to follow shortly. The universities recently caught on to [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'] who might be the best overall athlete out of the bunch, with 6-3 wideouts [player_tooltip player_id='1226917' first='Kaeden' last='Weaver'] and [player_tooltip player_id='985511' first='Kaicen' last='Carter'] both holding offers from the likes of Oregon St and Washington St.    [player_tooltip player_id='1609636' first='Brock' last='Estes'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1609764' first='Sam' last='Robbins'] are a pair of 6-5 Oregon prospects who both excelled on the 7v7 circuit as part of Team Lillard and EForce. Each has a chance to blow up in the coming months.    A few other athletes to make note of include [player_tooltip player_id='1609788' first='Knox' last='Smith'] of Crescent Valley who has drawn comparisons to Wake Forest commit [player_tooltip player_id='754594' first='Jack' last='Foley']. Fellow Oregon slot receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1126329' first='Luke' last='Bergmann'] was one of the only players in the NW to earn all-conference honors as a freshman. He makes the move from Sunset to Tualatin.   [player_tooltip player_id='1003593' first='Tytan' last='McNeal'] projects as a potential 5* and could be the #1 recruit in the NW when all is said and done. He has been elite on the 7v7 circuit as part of FSP, while earning all-league accolades on both sides of the ball as a freshman.    Traditional 4A power Lake Stevens has a good one coming up in [player_tooltip player_id='984711' first='Maxten' last='Cook']. He caught 20 balls for 383 yards and 4 TDs this past season.    As we move to the line there aren't many big men with offers as of right now but that will change. [player_tooltip player_id='985356' first='Solova'a' last='Steffany'] has probably been the most productive as part of a young and talented GK roster. [player_tooltip player_id='985353' first='Ofa' last='Taufalele'] holds an offer from Washington. He has been dominant at 1A Life Christian Academy.    Two other intriguing prospects include 6-4 tackle [player_tooltip player_id='1609771' first='Peter' last='Stanley'] out of Summit HS in Bend OR and 6-5 lineman [player_tooltip player_id='985358' first='Cale' last='LaFountaine'], who is another versatile kid out of Orting WA that I like.
