He has the size and all of the tools to be one of the most recruited lineman in the West.

His 600 pound+ squat and other achievements in the weightroom have him listed as one of the strongest lineman anywhere.    [player_tooltip player_id='2065183' first='Ernest' last='Populus ']27' T O'Dea   O'Dea features a nationally recognized D line group with the 6-4 Populus being one of the breakout performers offensively in Washington.

[player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody'] 27' RB KR Camas   Brody is already ranked among the top players in the state for the 27' class.

Severson broke out as a freshman and hasn't looked back since, going for 900+ yards receiving and 14 TDs this past season.

His 2nd team all league honors were well deserved.    [player_tooltip player_id='2065190' first='Kolyn' last='Rochester'] 27' RB Sedro-Wooley   Rochester helped his team to an undefeated season before running into the reigning 3A state champs O'Dea in the quarterfinals.
