This will be broken down by offense and defense so check the link below for the other side of the ball.         Defensive Link <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/09/stocks-on-the-rise-40-wa-athletes-you-should-know-about-d/">https://prepredzone.com/2025/09/stocks-on-the-rise-40-wa-athletes-you-should-know-about-d/</a>         *No Particular Order         [player_tooltip player_id='1428218' first='Ryan' last='Harrington'] 27' QB Anacortes    One of the fastest rising prospects in the entire NW. The 6-1 200-pound junior has hit on 74% of his passes, while averaging over 300 yards passing per game, with 11 TD's/2 INTs. He has also shown off his overall athleticism, rushing 17 times for 214 yards (12.5 ypc) and 2 TDs for the 2x state champs.    [player_tooltip player_id='1892954' first='Jayvian' last='Ferrell'] 27' RB Lake Stevens   Ferrell went for 130+ in each contest against Sumner and Bellevue to start the season with multiple TDs. He then proceeded to carry the ball 3 times for 191 yards and 3 touchdowns against Cascade. Regardless of the competition those numbers are ridiculous.    [player_tooltip player_id='1892956' first='Tyler' last='Briscoe'] 27' RB Tumwater   Tumwater has a bunch of different guys who contribute each and every week, but Briscoe continues to stand out. He went for 200+ and 3 TDs a few weeks back and just returned a kick 85 yards for a touchdown in the 49-21 win over Eastlake. The kid can play.   [player_tooltip player_id='726176' first='Landon' last='Thomas'] 26' QB Mead   The first team all-league safety was one of the NW's leaders in INTs last year with 6 and has stepped up on the offensive side of the ball this year with Mead looking like a title contender. In one half of action Thomas threw 4 TDs and also rushed 5 times for 99 yards in their 47-0 route of Central Valley. They are now 3-0, outscoring their opponents 131-21.    [player_tooltip player_id='1605386' first='Luke' last='Parker'] 27' QB/ATH Puyallup   Parker stepped up last year as a sophomore and has continued his impressive play this season for one of the fastest rising programs in the NW. The undersized QB has hit on 77% of his passes while also averaging 8.4 yards per carry with 2 TD's for the 3-0 Vikings.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906007' first='Toby' last='Thornburg'] 28' RB University   This kid looks the part and then some. Thornburg will make a nice jump up the PRZ rankings board when updated, rushing 4 times for 129 yards and 2 TDs while also returning a kick 80 yards for a touchdown, in their 61-6 win over Shadle Park. Just one week but impressive.    [player_tooltip player_id='1599662' first='Ean' last='Owens'] 27' ATH Lakes   One of the top kick returners anywhere in the West. Owens was a 1st team all-conference selection at WR as a sophomore and will break your ankles in the open field. He returned 4 kicks last year for TD's and had another big night in their 21-17 win over Curtis, with a 90-yard kickoff return to the house and two more to midfield.    [player_tooltip player_id='1217964' first='Rashard' last='Boone'] 26' QB Rogers   Someone is going to get a steal with Boone collegiately. I would consider him one of the more underrated players in Washington, hitting on 75% of his passes with 10 TDs (7 passing, 3 rushing) and 927 yards through 3 weeks.    [player_tooltip player_id='1613160' first='Brady' last='Bonnell'] 28' QB Tahoma    Bonnell is ranked among the top players in the state for his class. He's backed that up after a breakout freshman season, having a big week 2 vs Skyline in the 47-35 win. On the night he accounted for 5 TDs (3 passing, 2 rushing) while totaling 302 yards and hitting on 20/26 passes.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906014' first='Chase' last='Sasiu'] 26' OL Sumner   The 6-2 260-pound O lineman isn't the biggest kid, but he has been one of the most impressive statewide. Oregon St commit [player_tooltip player_id='987161' first='Lance' last='McGee'] has thrived behind Sasiu and the Sumner O line in general.    [player_tooltip player_id='1368366' first='Malik' last='Burns'] 27' ATH Spanaway Lake   Hands down one of the most impressive kids in the state. He went for 600 yards and 9 TDs last year and scored all of his team's touchdowns last week. On the night he caught 2 TD passes and returned a kick 90 yards, in the 24-10 win over previously undefeated Federal Way.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906029' first='Griffin' last='Butler'] 27' WR Wenatchee   Wenatchee has one of the better dual sport athletes statewide for the 2027 class in Butler. The baseball standout showed what he could do at receiver in week 1, catching 10 passes for 194 yards and 2 TDs, just to put his overall talent into perspective.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906008' first='Lincoln' last='McGill'] 28' QB/ [player_tooltip player_id='1226917' first='Kaeden' last='Weaver'] 28' WR North Creek   The Jaguars are 0-3 but the future is bright with one of the most impressive young QB/WR combos in the NW. Last Friday McGill hit Weaver on 4 TD passes accounting for all of the team's points in the 55-27 loss to Bethel. Weaver is ranked one of the top 10 prospects in the state receiving the early Oregon St offer.    [player_tooltip player_id='1339690' first='Zab' last='Zenkner'] 27' WR Emerald Ridge   One of the most exciting players in the state. The 6-0 175-pound receiver has a stock which is skyrocketing, averaging 34 yards per catch, with 8 receptions for 279 yards and 3 TDs. Emerald Ridge is a quality team which has dropped a couple close ones to top programs.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906015' first='Tyson' last='Ruggiero'] 26' QB/ [player_tooltip player_id='1892945' first='Charlie' last='Barr'] 26' WR Camas   It's not easy to step in and follow up a group like last year's Papermaker team that reached the state finals. The 6-4 200-pound QB Ruggiero and his 6-5 WR Barr have done a great job filling the void. Ruggiero has hit on 67% of his passes with 9 TDs/2 INTs through 3 games. Barr caught 3 TDs in week 2 alone and will require a consistent double team if you want to contain him.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906030' first='Drew' last='Sorensen'] 29' QB Woodinville   Get used to the name. Sorensen got his first varsity start as a freshman, going 16/23 for 230 yards and 3 TDs. At 6-2 175 he is elite physically as well for a kid his age.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906021' first='Chris' last='Wilson'] 26' RB Cheney   Another baseball standout who has been dominant on the football field early this season. Wilson rushed 10 times for 186 yards and 4 TDs, in the 48-14 win over Ferris this past week. The 3-0 Blackhawks will get a huge test against Gonzaga Prep on Friday.    [player_tooltip player_id='1188108' first='Brayden' last='Paulino'] 27' QB Emerald Ridge   Give the undersized QB a lot of credit after making the transfer from Puyallup to Emerald Ridge. For the year he's hit on 62% of his passes, going 13/21 for 306 yards and 4 TDs in week 1 against Kentwood. They've lost a couple close ball games to quality teams in GK and Bethel.    [player_tooltip player_id='1663116' first='Ronin' last='Holmes'] 26' RB Lake Washington   For the 2nd year in a row Holmes has absolutely killed it. The 5-9 190 pound back has quietly continued his tear, averaging 160 yards per game (8.9 ypc) with 10 TDs, while the Kangaroos sit at 3-0.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906024' first='Bupe' last='Chisanga Jr.'] 26' WR Skyline   This kid has stepped up big for the Spartans early this season, with Chisanga hauling in 123 receiving yards in the 28-21 win over Issaquah last week. He combos nicely with [player_tooltip player_id='1165348' first='Luke' last='Morgan'] who was just offered by San Diego.    [player_tooltip player_id='985505' first='Jaleo' last='Johnson'] 28' WR Steilacoom   The 5-6 150-pound sophomore can move. He has been incredibly impressive with 17 catches for 271 yards and 5 TDs through 3 weeks. Steilacoom currently sits at 3-0 and will be in the mix at the 2A level.
