Updated: Washington 2029 Rankings (1-20)

With the athletes still being so young, it's almost impossible to put a numerical ranking next to their name at this point. Here we will breakdown the top freshman in the state of Washington with groups representing #1-20, #21-45, and a Watch List as referenced below with honorable mention selections.            On the actual rankings board, you will see a number next to each athlete's name, but that is very general in nature and will likely adjust a great deal in the coming months. This list was put together in collaboration with Andrew Nemec. Have a look as we highlight the state's top 29's.          Overall Rankings: <a href="https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/washington-high-school-football-2029-class-player-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/washington/rankings/washington-high-school-football-2029-class-player-rankings/</a>         #1-20         1.[player_tooltip player_id='1397350' first='Xavier' last='Berry'] 6-7 275 T Federal Way WA OFFERS (5) Oregon, Washington, Oregon St.   UPDATED: Berry makes the move to Federal Way from 1A Cascade Christian, with the Eagles now featuring a plethora of top young talent. The 6-7 tackle was named a Max Preps freshman All American and he could double his offer total in the coming months with another good off season.      The big man had a breakout off season garnering offers from the likes of Oregon, Washington, and San Jose St. Berry followed that up with an impressive freshman year on the O line while also making 13 tackles on D. He will be a big-time national recruit in the years ahead.    2.[player_tooltip player_id='1397315' first='Justin' last='Suega'] 6-4 190 WR Federal Way WA OFFERS (3) Washington, San Diego St   UPDATED: I would expect 10 or more TD's and 1000+ yards from Suega as a sophomore after making the move to Fed Way. Top coach and Super Bowl champion Reggie Jones says, "He's the top receiver in the state and arguably the country for his class."   What could be one of the most recruited WR's in the country. Suega already has offers from Washington and Sac St after blowing up on the 7v7 circuit as an 8th grader. The size and versatility at this age is just different.    3.[player_tooltip player_id='1969806' first='Kitiona' last='Tupua'] 6-2 285 DL Puyallup  WA OFFERS (7) Texas A/M, Washington, Utah, Oregon St, Minnesota   UPDATED: Tupua could end up one of the most recruited D lineman in the country before he's done. Puyallup has the potential of being ranked nationally as a team as well.    Tupua had an unreal freshman season, earning 1st team SPSL honors, while totaling 26 tackles, 4 TFL's, and 2.5 sacks. He is already blowing up on the recruiting front with offers from the likes of Texas A/M, Minnesota, UNLV, and New Mexico.    4.[player_tooltip player_id='1397364' first='Kamari' last='Wilson'] 6-5 290 OT Mount Tahoma WA OFFERS (3) San Jose St, New Mexico   UPDATED: One of the fastest rising stocks of any lineman on the west coast for his class. Wilson earned 1st team all-conference honors as a freshman, something incredibly tough to do at such a young age. His dominance in the 3A title game against elite D1 talent was telling.    The big man can play on either side of the ball and got in the mix on D with multiple tackles and TFL's for a Mount Tahoma team that reached the state title game. He has elite D1 size receiving his first offer from San Jose St after being named MVP at their camp.    5.[player_tooltip player_id='2065218' first='Siosaia' last='Malietufa'] 6-2 170 WR O'Dea  WA OFFERS (1) Colorado St   UPDATED: Malietufa has been killin it on the 7v7 circuit as part of FSP garnering all types of recognition. I would expect him to land an additional 5+ offers this off season at showcases and other events.    Malietufa will be a legit national prospect. As a freshman he garnered 2nd team all Metro honors for the 3A state champs, possessing size, speed, and a work ethic that can't be taught.     6.[player_tooltip player_id='1557937' first='Jadis' last='Lefono'] 6-1 190 QB Lakes WA OFFERS (1) San Diego St   UPDATED: This kid is legit on all fronts. He is tough and has a mentality you can't teach. The fact that he was named the Offensive MVP in the 3A PSL Nisqually as a freshman speaks to his upside.    Lefono was off the charts good all year for a Lakes team that finished 10-2. It's rare to have a freshman lead and dominate like he did, finishing the season with 27 TD's (17 passing, 10 rushing) with 2,196 total yards. His 6.35 yards per carry average speaks to his ridiculous athleticism.    7.[player_tooltip player_id='1384751' first='Kehano' last='Corpuz'] 6-0 160 WR Graham Kapowsin WA OFFERS (1) Sacramento St   UPDATED: Corpuz plays opposite two of the best receivers in the West in [player_tooltip player_id='937738' first='Kase' last='Betz'] and [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'], both of whom put up 1000+ yards, just to put his statistical potential into perspective. He continues to rack up accolades on the 7v7 circuit as part of HEIR.    Expect Corpuz to be in the POY conversation as early as next year. The numbers spoke for themselves this past season catching 49 passes for 661 yards and 4 TDs, to go with 13 tackles. GK will be a state title favorite in the years to come.    8.[player_tooltip player_id='1906030' first='Drew' last='Sorensen'] 6-3 185 QB Archbishop Murphy WA   UPDATED: Archbishop Murphy made a statement going 13-0 while beating a solid Tumwater team 35-20 for the state title. ABM graduated multiple D1 athletes and Sorensen will be another one after making the move from Woodinville.    Sorensen projects as one of the top QB's in Washington for his class, earning all Kingco honors as a freshman. He hit on 66% of his passes, averaging close to 250 yards passing per contest, with 11 TDs in 5 games.    9.[player_tooltip player_id='1397377' first='Andrew' last='Peapea'] 6-2 225 LB Federal Way WA OFFERS (1) UNLV   UPDATED: This kid has a no-nonsense demeanor and will come up and look to destroy you from his LB spot. Peapea transferred mid-season from Cascade Christian to Federal Way and will be required to sit out until early October.    10.[player_tooltip player_id='1397322' first='Marquis' last='Tovia'] 6-3 185 DB/ATH Chief Sealth   UPDATED: The 1st team all-league WR averaged 15 yards per catch as a freshman and is equally talented on the defensive side of the ball. He projects as a double digit D1 offer athlete and someone that provides universities options with his versatility.    11.[player_tooltip player_id='2133898' first='Rayden' last='Shanks'] 6-4 185 LB Bethel    UPDATED: Shanks was a 2nd team all-conference LB as a freshman in the brutally tough SPSL which speaks to his game. He's long with the ability to add some significant size to his frame. Bethel continues to produce major D1 LB prospects like Zaydrius Rainey-Sale and [player_tooltip player_id='1655930' first='Ramzak' last='Fruean']. He has that type of potential    12.[player_tooltip player_id='570837' first='Jagger' last='McEwen'] 6-3 175 QB Kamiakin WA   UPDATED: McEwen has the prototypical size and the mindset to play big time college football with continued progression. He has been doing well for Team Lillard.    The young QB didn't miss a beat as a freshman hitting on 100/177 passes for 1,658 yards and 21 TDs/8 INTs at the varsity level. Expect to hear a lot about him in the years ahead after leading his team to a 9-3 record.    13.[player_tooltip player_id='1397388' first='Ahmire' last='Rooters-Hart'] 6-0 175 CB Mount Tahoma  WA   UPDATED: Rooters-Hart continues to excel on 7v7 circuit for Heir Academy after a breakout freshman campaign that saw him garner 2nd team all-conference accolades for 3A runner up Mount Tahoma.    Mount Tahoma made a statement losing a close one in the 3A state title game to O'Dea 21-14. Rooters-Hart was a big part of that, finishing with 35 tackles, 11 PBU's, and 2 INTs. Unreal numbers for a youngster.    14.[player_tooltip player_id='2133976' first='Noah' last='Starr'] 6-1 160 CB Kamiakin   UPDATED: The standout multi-sport corner continues to up his stock on the 7v7 circuit as part of Team Lillard. He started every game in the secondary for a quality Kamiakin program who consistently competes in the playoffs.    15.[player_tooltip player_id='2133899' first='Elijah' last='Shaw'] 5-11 165 DB Bellarmine Prep    UPDATED: Really like this kid. Shaw was a 1st team all-league selection as a freshman and plays with no fear, looking like an old school John Lynch from his safety spot.    16.[player_tooltip player_id='2133900' first='Toa' last='Tunai'] 6-0 180 WLB North Thurston WA   UPDATED: Some of the best film of any 2029 in the region. If Tunai continues to grow and progress he could be a major D1 recuit. He earned 2nd team all-conference accolades as a frosh.    17.[player_tooltip player_id='1557819' first='Romiece' last='Taviuni'] 5-9 185 SS Lakes WA     UPDATED: Watch the film as Taviuni only knows one speed. He's only 5-9, so size is a question mark, but he checks all the other boxes.    Taviuni was a 1st team all conference selection as a freshman defying all odds. To say he has no fear is probably an understatement finishing among the state leaders in tackles with 76.   18.[player_tooltip player_id='2079658' first='Ludolph' last='Misher'] 5-6 165 ATH Federal Way WA   UPDATED: He's undersized but super talented with his numbers as a freshman speaking for themselves. Misher will be part of an elite 2029 group for the Eagles.    Federal Way continues to produce elite athletes with the likes of Chico McClatcher, [player_tooltip player_id='726148' first='Zamarie' last='Tellez'], and potentially Misher. The undersized slot consistently made plays this past season, totaling 580 yards and 8 TDs on 37 touches (20 rushes, 17 receptions) at the varsity level.    19.[player_tooltip player_id='2079670' first='George' last='Woods'] 5-9 175 Safety  Graham Kapowsin WA   UPDATED: This kid is the real deal. The brother of record setting WR Jabez Woods had a phenomenal freshman season, making 46 tackles with 3 INTs for a top ranked GK team that will compete for a title every year.    20.[player_tooltip player_id='1557829' first='Miguel' last='Martinez'] 6-1 235 LB/DE Emerald Ridge WA   UPDATED: The versatile defender plays with his hair on fire projecting as a multiyear 1st team all SPSL athlete.
