<p>26.[player_tooltip player_id='584705' first='Adonai' last='Ve'e'] 6-0 225 LB O'Dea </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Ve'e made the move from Kentwood to O'Dea and was a huge factor in the Irish' success. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-Metro selection with the film speaking to his instincts and overall ability. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Some of the best film in the state. Ve'e plays at a different speed but is still one of WA's most underrated defenders in my opinion. As a sophomore he earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference honors, making 91 tackles, with 4 sacks, and 21 tackles for loss. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>27.[player_tooltip player_id='1733964' first='Daniel' last='Haynes'] 6-3 190 DB Rainier Beach<strong> OFFERS (2) Idaho, Sac St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: I would expect Haynes to have a big year with FSP on the 7v7 circuit after a successful 2025 campaign that saw him make 50 tackles with 4 PBU's. He's a big DB that provides options in the secondary.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You have to like the size and what he did this off season as part of FSP. Anytime you have a 6-3 corner that moves like him, you are appealing as a prospect. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>28.[player_tooltip player_id='1530872' first='Jordan' last='Noel'] 5-10 165 ATH Kennedy Catholic <strong>OFFERS (2) Sacramento St, Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Easily one of the most versatile kids in Washington. Jordy showed off his 4.43 speed by earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-conference honors at DB and 2<sup>nd</sup> team WR accolades. He totaled 908 all-purpose yards with 11 TDs to go with 4 INTs and 8 PBU's on D. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>29.[player_tooltip player_id='1369680' first='Dalton' last='Stevens'] 6-3 285 G Mark Morris</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: I really like Stevens and what he brings to the table. He is 3x all league, all region lineman who has allowed only 1 1/2 sacks over the last three seasons. I see him as a D1 FCS interior guy. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stevens has had a great offseason on the camp circuit, after breaking out as a freshman and earning 1st team all-conference honors as a sophomore. Fundamentally there are few who are better within the region.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>30.[player_tooltip player_id='685276' first='Sirjewel' last='Glover'] 6-1 185 WR Rainier Beach <strong>OFFERS (4) Nevada, Montana St, Idaho, Portland St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Glover was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-Metro pick at WR and CB and impressed over the offseason on the camp circuit being named the overall MVP at Idaho. Look for him to continue and garner more offers. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Glover continues to add offers and had a nice season on the 7v7 circuit. That said as there is limited tape on him with a lot of eyes on Rainier Beach this coming season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>31.[player_tooltip player_id='2042043' first='Kason' last='Carta'] 6-2 180 ATH Bellevue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Carta is long, can run, and is just a very good overall athlete. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all Kingco selection. He also qualified for the Junior Olympics in the hurdles. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>32.[player_tooltip player_id='1659062' first='Parker' last='Stewart'] 6-4 225 OL/DE Kelso</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Stewart had a breakout year on the defensive side of the ball, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all GSHL accolades. His quickness and ability to maneuver coming off the edge will make him a viable recruit at the D1 level.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You have to like the genes with his 6-7 brother Payton Stewart playing on the offensive line at Michigan St. Parker did well as a sophomore earning 2nd team all GSHL honors. His projection will depend on continued growth and what type of film he puts together as a junior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>33.[player_tooltip player_id='1368366' first='Malik' last='Burns'] 6-1 180 WR/DB Spanaway Lake</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Maybe I'm missing something, but Burns looks like one of the most under recruited kids in the region thus far. He had another big year setting two school records, while finishing with 52 receptions for 739 yards and 11 TDs. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most impressive overall athletes in the state. Burns will be a multi offer D1 kid as universities are missing on him as of right now. He racked up 1st team all-conference honors last season, catching 32 passes for 595 yards (18.6 ypc) and 9 TD's.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>34.[player_tooltip player_id='1188132' first='Leo' last='Harnetiaux'] 6-3 210 QB Seattle Prep</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Harnetiaux had a quality season being named a 1<sup>st</sup> team all conference QB. He hit on 63% of his passes for 2,041 yards and 24 TDs/5 INTs. From a projection standpoint, a lot will depend on what he does this off season on the camp circuit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harnetiaux played behind Metro League Offensive POY Beau Oaksmith, and should be the guy leading a good Seattle Prep program the next two seasons. He has D1 genes and has added some size, so expectations are high. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>35.[player_tooltip player_id='1599614' first='Ben' last='Rainwater'] 6-6 260 T Inglemoor</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The big man had a nice year allowing 0 sacks and finishing with 90 pancake blocks offensively. He did well on D also making 27 tackles with 5 sacks. Rainwater is definitely making his presence known on the camp circuit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rainwater earned 2nd team all-league honors on the offensive front and also did well on D. He has the necessary size to play a high level of collegiate ball but will need to put together some dominant film this coming season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>36.[player_tooltip player_id='1188104' first='Royce' last='Miller'] 6-0 205 RB Kennedy Catholic </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Bottom line Miller has elite speed, so he will have a chance at the next level. He will need to get himself out on the camp circuit to show what he can do. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Keep an eye on Miller now that he is fully healthy. He averaged 8.1 yards per carry as a freshman with 400+ yards and 4 TDs and has the potential of being a legit D1 guy with 4.4 speed. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>37.[player_tooltip player_id='1576634' first='Blake' last='Pearson'] 6-1 225 RB Graham-Kapowsin</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Pearson was a 1st team all-league back for the second year in a row going for 1079 yards on 189 carries (5.7 ypc). He would be extremely valuable for any university that uses a big bruising RB. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This kid is a tank. Pearson was a 1st team all-league selection as a sophomore, rushing for 650 yards and 5 TDs on 137 carries. If he can maintain his endurance at 230, he's going to wear down defenses and be a serious problem for opponents. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>38.[player_tooltip player_id='1368331' first='Henry' last='Sigfridson'] 6-2 180 WR/ATH Kalama</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Sigfridson moved to the QB spot for Kalama. Much like when POY Aiden Brown ran the offense, they want the best athlete with the ball in his hands. We will see if this has an effect on the recruiting front. It didn't with Brown who is now playing D1 ball at Idaho St. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sigfridson excelled on the 7v7 circuit as part of EForce after totaling 1000+ receiving yards and double-digit TDs, with 80+ receptions in his first two seasons at Kalama. He earned 2nd team all-league honors as a sophomore with the biggest question being how he will do without all everything D1 commit Aiden Brown leading the offense. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>39.[player_tooltip player_id='1228770' first='Rhett' last='Huber'] 6-6 270 T Bellevue</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Huber missed 5 games but did relatively well in his return. He's still raw but has a lot of potential with a high ceiling. This will be a crucial off season for him to show what he can do. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There isn't a lot of tape on Huber so it's hard to say either way how he is going to project. If you take his overall athleticism into account and the elite program he plays for, we will find out in a few months what he's all about. Once again, the graduation of Oregon commit Demetri Manning and USC commit Willi Wascher will allow him to get in the mix right away. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>40.[player_tooltip player_id='1368329' first='Toetu' last='Moliga'] 5-9 180 RB Lakes</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Moliga was a 1st team all-state pick and was named the overall MVP in the Nisqually Conference. In space there are few who are better. He finished with 816 yards rushing (8.4 ypc) and 6 TDs. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From a projection standpoint it will likely be a size thing. Moliga has some of the best film out there, being named a 1st team all-league RB and accounting for 1100+ yards (8.2 ypc) and 11 TDs for the Lancers last season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>41.[player_tooltip player_id='2042073' first='Fin' last='Stewart'] 6-7 195 ATH/WR Mount Si</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Stewart has super impressive film being able to play multiple spots extremely well at 6-7. His versatility and ability to run is rare for a big man. He was a 2<sup>nd</sup> team all KingCo selection at WR.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>42.[player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody'] 5-9 185 RB/ATH Camas</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Brody backed up the hype earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors as a return man, and 1<sup>st</sup> team all GSHL accolades at RB. He totaled 1,352 rushing & receiving yards for the year. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Brody kids are super talented as Thor will be one of the best in the GSHL this season. From a recruitment standpoint this will be a big year specific to the film he puts together. His numbers were exceptional as a sophomore, going for close to 500 rushing/receiving yards on 50+ touches, and 8 TDs. He also finished with 38 tackles on D. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>43.[player_tooltip player_id='1969013' first='Blake' last='Moser'] 6-0 165 QB Lake Stevens</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Moser destroyed the competition this past season, helping his team to the state title game while passing for 3,462 yards and 55 TD's. He earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all state honors and is a multi-sport standout (baseball.) </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>44.[player_tooltip player_id='1635067' first='Nathaniel' last='Rembisz'] 6-0 190 ATH La Center</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: As referenced just a phenomenal overall athlete. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league QB this past season, totaling 1,718 yards and 21 TDs (17 passing, 4 rushing) with 8 INTs. Rembisz will project as more of a position player also being an elite kicker. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the best overall athletes in Washington. The EForce community raved about Rembisz from the beginning, and they were right. Look for him to be a POY favorite within the conference for the next two seasons. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>45.[player_tooltip player_id='1671389' first='Teaven' last='Jones'] 6-1 205 OLB Mount Tahoma </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Jones broke the all-time state sack record this past year with 20.5 sacks and 87 total tackles. He was the conference POY and a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state selection, helping his team to the 3A title game. The kid can flat out play. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>46.[player_tooltip player_id='1599662' first='Ean' last='Owens'] 5-8 160 WR Lakes</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Owens had a monster year going for 1300 rushing & receiving yards and double-digit TD's, while catching 47 passes for 726 yards and 8 touchdowns. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state selection as a return man as well. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Some of the best film out there as Owens was a 1st team all-conference selection. He went for 800+ yards and 6 TDs and will make you look silly in the open field. Projection wise it's a size thing. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>47.[player_tooltip player_id='2042059' first='Lukas' last='Redmond'] 6-5 220 DL Woodinville</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of the fastest rising prospects in WA for his class. Redmond was a 2<sup>nd</sup> team all-league pick, finishing with 50 tackles, 10 TFL's, and 6 sacks on the year. The size makes him an intriguing recruit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>48.[player_tooltip player_id='2065191' first='JayLinn' last='Haywood'] 6-3 295 DL/OL Kennedy Catholic</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Haywood should be considered one of the top two-way lineman in the state of WA earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all NPSL honors on both sides of the football. He will likely project more on D, while also being one of the state's best in the shotput. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>49.[player_tooltip player_id='2087218' first='Noah' last='Smith'] 5-11 180 QB Puyallup</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: As most know Smith had a breakout season, passing for 2,230 yards in 9 games with 33 TD's and 2 INTs for a Puyallup team that dominated for most of the year. Look for him to excel as part of FSP on the 7v7 circuit. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>50.<strong>Ernest Populus III</strong> 6-4 280 T O'Dea</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Populus had his season cut short due to a knee injury but still earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-Metro honors for the state champs. He has great size and can play the guard or tackle spot equally well. </strong></p>
