Washington stock risers: Who’s trending up?

]The state of Washington is loaded with quality prospects, particularly in the classes of 2028 down to 2031.   And college football programs are taking note, offering dozens of prospects in the state in the month of January.   It goes without saying that the marquee names, players like O'Dea defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1599603' first='Tevita' last='Nonu'] (2027), Cascade Christian offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1397350' first='Xavier' last='Berry'] (2029) and 2030 athlete [player_tooltip player_id='1397308' first='Dash' last='Jones'] are known commodities.   They don't make a “stock up” list because they are already the stars of their respective classes.    It would be silly to ignore them, but they also don't make this list because their stock is already sky higher.   This is about players whose stock is climbing.   Here are a list of players whose stock is climbing since the season ended:   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1012408' first='Kaden' last='Johnson'], Bellevue (2028) — The explosive 6-foot, 175-pound athlete has seen his tock vbolustely skyrocket this month.   Johnson has added offers from Auburn, Kentucky, Oregon State, Texas A&M and others - and there seems to be no sign of a slow down.   He's emerging as a clear-cut national recruit.    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='685276' first='Sirjewel' last='Glover'], Rainier Beach (2027) — The 6-foot-1, 185-pound athlete had previously registered offers from the likes of Portland State, Idaho and others but his recent offers from New Mexico, Oregon State and UNLV icould be signs that the Pac-12 Conference will be the next domino to fall.   Glover is a talented athlete who is suddenly knocking on the door of double-digit offers.   He's clearly a player to keep a close eye on.    DB [player_tooltip player_id='984781' first='Markel' last='Newell'], Puyallup (2028) — Prep Redzone is sky-high on the 5-foot-11, 180-pound defensive back, ranking him the No. 3 player in a loaded Washington 2028 class.   There's that much belief that he will pop and become a dynamic college football player.   Newell's offer sheet is finally starting to reflect that ability, as he's added offers from Colorado State, Idaho, New Mexico and UNLV this month alone.   His Friday morning offer from Boise State is further proof that his stock is finally reaching what we see on tape.   Newell is special!     OL [player_tooltip player_id='1857585' first='Kyler' last='Harden'], O'Dea (2028) —You'd be hard-pressed to find many West Coast offensive linemen who have seen their recruitment change more than Harden in the month of January.   He's added offers from Auburn, Cal, Oregon State, Penn State and others.   Considering his lone offer entering the New Year was Idaho, it's safe to say his life has changed dramatically.    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1907993' first='Tyson' last='Daniels'], Kennedy Catholic (2030) — It's wildly early for the 2030 offensive lineman.   Just don't tell that to college football programs.   The 6-foot-4, 275-pound monster has picked up offers from Auburn, Penn State, Texas A&M and others, establishing himself as a national recruit years before his Signing Day.   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1335521' first='RJ' last='Ward'], Bellevue (2028) — Ward is a do-everything player for the Wolverines - running back, wide receiver, linebacker and safety.   He can do it all.   The 6-foot-1, 200-pound playmaker could see his game climb to another level when he trims down his responsibilities to half as many positions.   This month, Colorado State, Idaho and Boise State have extended offers.   He could — should — emerge as a double-digit offer guy by the end of his recruitment.    LB/DB Nate Obasanjo, Mt. Rainer (2027) — I'm pretty proud of our 2027 and 2028 Washington rankings — with very few exceptions.   But the 6-foot-1, 210-pound athlete is rated too low.   It was perhaps our biggest miss… and we learned our lesson in a matter of weeks.   Obasanjo has added offers from Colorado State, New Mexico and Washington State in the past two weeks, and looks like most of the Pac-12 should follow suit.   He's a versatile, dynamic defender who fits the modern college football landscape very well.   WR [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'], Graham-Kapowsin (2028) — The 6-foot-2, 180-pound pass-catcher looks to be on the verge of his recruitment going up another tier.   After claiming MVP of a recent 7-on-7 event, Halasz is scheduled to visit Washington this weekend.   That interest is newsworthy, but if an offer comes with it, he will be a bonafide Power 4 conference recruit.   Halasz is likely to get there eventually regardless, but it's noteworthy that the jump could come within the next 48 hours.   OL [player_tooltip player_id='1241961' first='Will' last='Lynch'], Lake Stevens (2027) — The two-time all-league selection is beginning to see his hard work lead to movement on the recruiting trial.   The 6-foot-4, 260-pound has added offers from Montana, Nevada and Oregon State this week alone.   His stock is finally starting to match the tape!    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1397315' first='Justin' last='Suega'], Federal Way (2029) — The eye-popping 6-foot-4, 200-pound playmaker is quickly emerging as a must-see prospect in the region.   He's already got offers from Sacramento State, San Diego State and Washington, and double-digit offers is the expectation for him at the point.   Given his blend of size and athleticism it will be fascinating to see how high he can climb in the national rankings.    WR/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1397322' first='Marquis' last='Tovia'], Chief Sealth (2029) — It's still very early in the development process of Tovia, but he's already looking the part of a future bluechip recruit.   The 6-foot-3, 185-pound playmaker has the size profile to be a must-offer talent, but his blend of work ethic and athleticism further elevate him to the “could be very special” category.   His journey will be fascinating to watch unfold.    LB/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='985511' first='Kaicen' last='Carter'], Federal Way (2028) — There's not a lot of tape out there on the 6-foot-3, 210-pound linebacker/wide receiver.   But those who have vouch for him as an emerging star.   Carter picked up a huge offer from Boise State this week, which will only add to his hype.   He's as intriguing of a linebacker as you'll find right now in the Northwest.   ATH J'isaiah Mitchell, Puyallup (2027) — The 6-foot-3, 200-pound playmaker earned the MVP award at the 7-on-7 Space Needle Shootout.   More important, he has registered offers from Boise state, New Mexico, Oregon State and San Diego State.   His fluidity at his size is hard to come by, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see a lot more offers pour in for Mitchell.    DL/OL [player_tooltip player_id='1012776' first='Matthew' last='Curran'], Bellevue (2028) — Several Bellevue players made the list, which means the hallways of the school have to be crowded with college football coaches.    This month they have been there, at least in part, to see Curran.   In the past few days he's added offers from San Diego State and UNLV, establishing himself as a bonafide FBS Division I prospect.    It was only a matter of time!    OL Junior Leapai, Lakes (2027) — The 6-foot-3, 320-pound future interior lineman added a key offer from Colorado State this month, which certifies him as a legit Pac-12-caliber prospect.   That's good news, as more offers could come in during the camp circuit.    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1892954' first='Jayvian' last='Ferrell']-Gilkey (2027) — After a stellar junior campaign in which he rushed for 1,764 yards and 25 touchdowns, college programs are taking note.   The 5-foot-9, 185-pound all-state back picked up his first offer from Idaho this week.   He's officially on the board!    WR/DB [player_tooltip player_id='1335368' first='Josiah' last='Laurence'], Cascade Christian (2028) —The 6-foot-3, 195-pound two-way standout added his first offer from Portland State early this month.   It feels like plenty more could be on the way, as Laurence should emerge as a key riser throughout the camp circuit.   Consider his inclusion the beginning of his rise.    WR/S [player_tooltip player_id='1969016' first='Keh'ano' last='Corpuz'], Graham-Kapowsin (2029) — Graham-Kapowsin is well-represented on this list, and Corpuz is the youngest of the bunch.   The 6-foot, 170-pound playmaker has been stellar in early winter work and should see his stock continue to climb this camp season.   Still, there's already a growing buzz about him.   Stay tuned.    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='985355' first='Amosa' last='Masaniai'], Emerald Ridge (2028) — “Moose” picked up his first offer last spring, then finally added a second this month from Montana State.   Stacking offers is the best way to get more attention, so it was great to see his hard work recognized.   I expect more schools to take notice of his development, as the first-team all-league defender continues. to blossom.   ATH [player_tooltip player_id='937738' first='Kase' last='Betz'], Graham-Kapowsin (2027) — One of the region's most underrated stars, Kate Betz was re-offered by Montana State.   He's the reigning SPSL co-MVP and a first-team all-state wide receiver.   He's waking people up.    OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='1397364' first='Kamari' last='Wilson'], Mount Tahoma (2029) — Last on the list, but certainly not least, the 6-foot-4, 290-pound lineman continues to stack good tape and strong development.   His recent offer from New Mexico is further proof that he's growing into a potential double-digit offer guy.   Wilson is clearly a lineman to watch in the region .
