Updated: Washington 2028 Rankings (Top 200) 51-100

Per usual rankings are based on who projects highest at the collegiate level. You can be an outstanding HS athlete and not project to high level of collegiate ball. Have a look at the Washington Top 200 for 2028 as we talk on #51 on down. This list was put together in collaboration with Andrew Nemec.   *PLEASE NOTE: 50+ athletes were added to the 2028 rankings board so multiple individuals will drop numerous spots for that reason alone.          TOP 200 <a href="https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/2028-watch-list/">https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/2028-watch-list/</a>         Here we break down some of the ranked athletes outside of the top 50 starting with the line. #51 [player_tooltip player_id='1339354' first='Jonah' last='Kapesi'] of Rainier Beach returns as a 2x all Metro lineman, with his teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1615683' first='Anthony' last='Dunston JR'] being one of the top two-way threats in WA and earning 2nd team all-league honors at OL and honorable mention accolades at D Tackle.    Other lineman who have good size and earned all-conference honors include [player_tooltip player_id='2042097' first='Chex' last='DeFillipi'] of Skyline who was a 2nd team all Kingco selection, along with 6-3 270-pound O lineman [player_tooltip player_id='2112996' first='Lincoln' last='Barnes'] of Central Kitsap and 6-3 225 pound DE [player_tooltip player_id='2112963' first='Kannias' last='Alava'] of Enumclaw.    6-3 320-pound Mata Iaone of Emerald Ridge is a beast on the interior and could climb this list quick. He was an honorable mention all-league selection. His new teammate [player_tooltip player_id='2082601' first='Riley' last='Crouch'] will be one to watch as well after making the move from Rogers HS.    6-5 2A basketball standout [player_tooltip player_id='2113004' first='Cody' last='Schwarz'] of WF West also had an outstanding sophomore season being named a 1st team all-conference tackle. Two other small school lineman to make note of include [player_tooltip player_id='1200859' first='Angelo' last='Williams'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1335638' first='Zephaniah' last='Vailahi-Sala'] of Life Christian. Each earned 2nd team all-league honors.    Closing out the big boys up front, [player_tooltip player_id='2113039' first='Gabriel' last='Magda'] had an all-conference season for an Evergreen program out of Vancouver who consistently churns out D1 talent. [player_tooltip player_id='985347' first='Alex' last='Prince'] of Kennedy Catholic is undersized for the position at 6-0 230 but was incredibly impressive garnering 2nd team all NPSL accolades on both sides of the football.    At LB and in the secondary their are numerous athletes worthy of recognition. [player_tooltip player_id='985351' first='Carmelo' last='Madden'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1337973' first='Inoke' last='Crosby'] of Bellevue are both legit. Expect the Wolverines to be a title favorite over the next few seasons.    6-2 200-pound LB/TE [player_tooltip player_id='1339345' first='Ben' last='Baker'] of Roosevelt had a quality all Metro season on both sides of the ball for a program that was in a tough situation. [player_tooltip player_id='1795369' first='Zarrick' last='Roberts'] of Yelm is another appealing recruit with size.    At defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='2112471' first='Charlie' last='Torrone'] of Curtis HS is a name to remember after racking up all SPSL honors at Safety. [player_tooltip player_id='2112459' first='Luke' last='Parbon'] of Camas had a big year making 25 tackles with 2 INT's while being named 2nd team all GSHL. [player_tooltip player_id='1743630' first='Stockton' last='Parrish'] of Southridge HS put some of the best numbers in the NW among underclassmen finishing with 56 tackles, 3 INTs, and 2 TDs.    [player_tooltip player_id='2042054' first='Ari' last='Gibbons'] was one of the breakout sophomores in the KingCo. He was a 2nd team all-league pick at corner. Another Bellevue athlete you will hear about in the coming year is [player_tooltip player_id='1691690' first='Nick' last='Simms']. He has been doing well for FSP on the 7v7 circuit.    Turning to offense, we look at the QB spot where there are a handful of kids who could make a significant jump up the board in the coming months. [player_tooltip player_id='1139323' first='Oliver' last='Setterberg'] of Glacier Peak is underrated and has been doing well on the 7v7 circuit. He passed for 1,962 yards and 29 TDs as a sophomore. Both [player_tooltip player_id='1339252' first='Colton' last='Stiles'] of Mount Si and [player_tooltip player_id='1339195' first='Oliver' last='Stiles'] of Eastlake will lead good programs and likely make some noise this off season. Colton started as a sophomore and did well before getting hurt for a Wildcats team that was a deceptive (3-7).    [player_tooltip player_id='984864' first='Jordan' last='Meas'] of Eastside Catholic has done well coming up through the youth ranks with [player_tooltip player_id='1615861' first='Sawyer' last='Hayes'] of Gig Harbor throwing 15 TD's/7 INTs as a freshman at the Varsity level. He is a talented 3-sport athlete.    There are a litany of skill kids who could jump up the rankings board as well. [player_tooltip player_id='2112968' first='Luke' last='Shaw'] was a 1st team all-conference WR as a sophomore at Bellarmine with [player_tooltip player_id='1570251' first='Draven' last='Butler'] of Mount Spokane continuing to be a kid we should watch.    One of Washington's breakout performers was unquestionably [player_tooltip player_id='2113038' first='DJ' last='Wilford'] of Mountain View out of Vancouver. His Thunder team didn't win a game, but he managed to put together a phenomenal season catching 78 balls for 742 yards and 6 TDs. [player_tooltip player_id='1219715' first='Kian' last='Krueger'] was another kid across the way at Prairie HS who was an all-league selection, averaging 9.25 yards per carry, while totaling 554 yards and 6 touchdowns. His 6-3 Falcons teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1815805' first='Cruz' last='Asay'] is a good-looking WR and one to keep an eye on also.    RB [player_tooltip player_id='2112464' first='Tyce' last='Kinley'] was a 1st team all SPSL-North pick as a sophomore which is a big deal. [player_tooltip player_id='2112995' first='Wilson' last='West'] of Gig Harbor HS was another breakout back earning 2nd team accolades. Last but definitely not least [player_tooltip player_id='1615867' first='Kainoa' last='Brown'] of Mercer Island, who went for 800+ total yards and 7 TD's, following up a super impressive freshman season.
