KingCo-Crest Top Returning Underclassmen

Here we breakdown some of the top athletes returning in the KingCo Crest Division next season. With the all league awards recently being announced we are able to see who was recognized among the top players in the conference.         [player_tooltip player_id='1226917' first='Kaeden' last='Weaver'] 28' WR North Creek    Weaver received an early offer from Oregon St and followed that up nicely earning KingCo Crest POY honors as a sophomore. On the season he caught 60 balls for 850 yards and 12 TDs. It's incredibly rare for any young athlete to receive these types of accolades.    [player_tooltip player_id='1599610' first='Tristian' last='Gandy'] 27' ATH Highline     Gandy looks like the "do it all kid" racking up 1st team all-conference honors at DB and as a kick returner, along with 2nd team honors at WR. Highline finished 1-8 but has a bunch of talented young guys returning.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044877' first='Hudson' last='Xavier'] 27' LB Liberty    Xavier was a 1st team all-conference selection and could very well follow in his teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1663109' first='Spencer' last='Bogh']'s footsteps after he earned KingCo Crest Defensive POY honors this past season. Xavier has 124 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss the last two seasons.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044870' first='Mario' last='Williams'] 28' LB Highline   Williams is undersized but is one of the top up and coming defenders in the conference. The 5-9 165-pound athlete earned 2nd team all-league honors at LB but projects as more of a Safety.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044872' first='Kai' last='Reynolds'] 28' DL Liberty    Reynolds led all Liberty D lineman in tackles to go along with multiple sacks. He did a great job on the interior earning 1st team all KingCo honors.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044879' first='Beckett' last='Wilson'] 27' DL Liberty    The 6-2 215-pound DE will project as more of a backer and has been key for the 9-1 Patriots up front, leading the team with 3 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, and 50 total tackles the last two seasons.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044880' first='Ishaan' last='Sharma'] 27' QB North Creek   Sharma had a good season statistically, especially with the team finishing at 1-9. He hit on 60% of his passes while averaging 225 yards per game and earning honorable mention all-conference honors.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044873' first='Tristan' last='Klein'] 28' RB/LB Liberty    You will see Klein make a nice jump up the PRZ rankings board after averaging 7.5 yards per carry with 7 TDs as a sophomore offensively. He might have been even better on D where he earned all-conference honors with 29 tackles and 4 TFL's.    [player_tooltip player_id='1906008' first='Lincoln' last='McGill'] 28' QB North Creek    Just an outstanding overall athlete who can beat you multiple ways. McGill was averaging over 10 yards per carry at one point during the year. He too earned all-conference honors at QB.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044889' first='Kaylen' last='Moore'] 27' RB Juanita    Moore is a 3-sport athlete, and he should get the ball often next season for Juanita out of the backfield. He had a few 100-yard games and brings power to the position.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044881' first='Abu' last='Diallo'] 27' RB North Creek   Diallo missed most of the season due to injury but accounted for 549 yards (407 rushing, 142 receiving) and 3 TDs in just a few games. He was an honorable mention all-conference selection.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044876' first='Bennett' last='Kvam'] 27' OL Juanita   The 6-1 225-pound center had a successful junior year earning 2nd team all KingCo honors for the 4-6 Ravens. He will be one of the top players at his position heading into next year.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044882' first='Gabriel' last='Danichek'] 27' DL Issaquah    Issaquah graduates double digit 1st & 2nd team all-conference athletes with Danichek being the only all KingCo returner. They will need the 6-1 200-pound D lineman to lead next year.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044883' first='Kael' last='Stuart'] 27' WR Highline   Stuart had double digit catches and multiple TD's on the season. Highline finished 1-8 on the year and they will need him to provide senior leadership with a young but talented team returning.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044894' first='Elijah' last='Wimberly'] 29' DB Highline   Wimberly got in the mix as a freshman averaging over 10 yards per catch with multiple TD's at the varsity level. He earned honorable mention all-conference honors on D highlighting his overall versatility.    Carlos Harrison 28' LB Juanita   The baseball standout Harrison earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a sophomore at LB. He's just a good overall athlete who will be a big-time contributor in the years ahead.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044874' first='Trevor' last='Nelson'] 28' DB Liberty   Nelson did a good job on both sides of the ball as a sophomore, specifically on D where he finished with 30 tackles and 3.5 tackles for loss. The future is bright at Liberty, currently sitting at 9-1, with a bunch of young talent coming up.    [player_tooltip player_id='2044887' first='Jabarri' last='Crawford'] 27' DB Highline   Look for Crawford to potentially be one of the better players in the conference next season. He was an honorable mention all-conference pick this year at DB.
