<p>1.[player_tooltip player_id='1003593' first='Tytan' last='McNeal'] 6-5 210 TE/DE 28' Eastside Catholic WA <strong>OFFERS (22) Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, USC</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The 5* TE ranks as the state's top basketball prospect for his class just to put into perspective how different he is. McNeal earned 1st team all-conference honors on both sides of the football this past season and could be one of Washington's most decorated recruits ever. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2.[player_tooltip player_id='632957' first='Josiah' last='Molden'] 6-0 180 CB 27' West Linn OR <strong>OFFERS (18) Oregon, Ohio St, Notre Dame, USC, Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Molden was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all state selection on both sides of the ball, showing off his overall versatility by catching 39 passes for 613 yards and 7 TDs. He is ranked among the top 20 DB's in the country. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Molden is a 4* recruit and one of the top ranked players in America for his class. He will be in the conversation when referencing the best players ever to come out of Oregon. Last season he earned 1st team all-state honors, finishing with 33 tackles, 14 PBUs, and 2 INTs, while helping the Lions win the 6A title. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3.[player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] 6-3 205 QB 28' Graham Kapowsin WA<strong> OFFERS (9) Washington, Oregon, BYU, Ariz St, Miami </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The 2x SPSL POY is the real deal. This past season he passed for 3000+ yards and 32 TDs/2 INTs with a 70% completion pct. He currently ranks as the nation's #12 QB, and it would be big-time if the Huskies kept him home. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>GK will have a chance to win a state title or two with his leadership and a loaded roster. Tuivaiave was one of the only freshman nationwide to earn conference POY honors. He racked up SPSL South Offensive Player of the Year accolades, throwing for 2,443 yards and 27 TDs/9 INTs, on 66% passing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>4.[player_tooltip player_id='1397350' first='Xavier' last='Berry'] 6-7 275 T 29' Federal Way WA <strong>OFFERS (5) Oregon, Washington, Oregon St.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5.[player_tooltip player_id='1397315' first='Justin' last='Suega'] 6-4 190 WR 29' Federal Way WA <strong>OFFERS (3) Washington, San Diego St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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."</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6.[player_tooltip player_id='1969806' first='Kitiona' last='Tupua'] 6-2 285 DL 29' Puyallup WA <strong>OFFERS (7) Texas A/M, Washington, Utah, Oregon St, Minnesota</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>7.[player_tooltip player_id='1397364' first='Kamari' last='Wilson'] 6-5 290 OT 29' Mount Tahoma WA <strong>OFFERS (3) San Jose St, New Mexico</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>8.[player_tooltip player_id='1188109' first='Braylon' last='Pope'] 6-3 195 WR 27' Sumner WA <strong>COMMITTED: Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: Pope now ranks as the #1 player in the state, helping his team win back-to-back state titles while committing to UW. On the year he caught 52 passes for 869 yards and 12 TDs. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I could see Pope being the #1 recruit in the state for the 27' class with another big season. He went off as a sophomore, helping his team to the 4A title, while earning 1st team all-state accolades in the process. His 68 catches for 952 yards last year speaks to his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>9.[player_tooltip player_id='984781' first='Markel' last='Newell'] 5-11 180 Safety 28' Puyallup WA <strong>OFFERS (6) Washington, Arizona St, UNLV, New Mexico</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: As referenced, Newell is special and plays with a Budda Baker type mentality. He went for 52 tackles, 8 TFL's, and a pick to the house as a sophomore. He will be a conference and state POY favorite along with his teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1188110' first='Michael' last='Pulalasi'] next season. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Newell has some of the most impressive freshman film that I have seen. His overall physicality and instincts as a youngster are incredibly unique. Look for him to be in the Conference POY conversation this year, and likely double his numbers from last season, where he made 30+ tackles with multiple INTs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10.[player_tooltip player_id='1617792' first='Aedyn' last='Havili'] 6-2 315 DT 28' Eastside Catholic WA <strong>OFFERS (10) Washington, Michigan, Arizona St, Arizona, Wash St, </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: The Metro League Defensive Lineman of the Year as a sophomore. Havili ranks among the top 20 D lineman in the country and will likely continue to blow up in the coming months. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are very few athletes nationwide who dominate up front physically like he did as a freshman. Havili earned 2nd team all-conference honors and MVP'd Michigan's camp over the off season. His stock will continue to sky rocket. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>11.[player_tooltip player_id='1188085' first='Sione' last='Kaho'] 6-3 210 QB 27' Lincoln WA <strong>OFFERS (9) Oregon, Washington, Utah, Ariz St, BYU</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: Kaho earned 3A 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors at QB, throwing for 2000+ yards and 19 TD's/9 INTs. For his career he now has 6500+ yards passing, hitting on 65% of his throws, with 54 TD's/23 INTs. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kaho gets the #1 spot but still has a lot to prove. Statistically he has a chance to be one of WA's all-time great QB's, starting as a freshman, and being the only sophomore to earn 1<sup>st</sup> team 3A all-state honors last year. I would expect him to crush last season's numbers where he totaled 24 TDs (17 passing, 7 rushing) while hitting on 62% of his passes. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>12.[player_tooltip player_id='1599603' first='Tevita' last='Nonu'] 6-3 275 DT 27' O'Dea WA <strong>OFFERS (11) Notre Dame, Washington, Cal, Arizona St, Arizona </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: The big man only played in the last 5 games of the year due to injury but still earned 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors, helping the Irish to another 3A title. He is ranked #1 by some services as the offers speak for themselves. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nonu makes a big jump up the rankings board with numerous offers coming in over the last few months from the likes of Notre Dame. His mobility in the trenches is incredibly unique, being a key member of O'Dea's undefeated state championship team. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>13.[player_tooltip player_id='1315611' first='Zach' last='Albright'] 6-5 235 TE 27' Glacier Peak WA <strong>OFFERS (8) Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, Texas A/M, Cal</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: Expect another big off season for Albright. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all state selection at TE with Glacier going 10-2 and losing to 2x 4a state champ Sumner in the playoffs. He has added size and is already a freak athlete. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Probably the fastest rising recruit in the NW. His big time offers outside the region speak to him potentially being one of the top TE prospects nationwide for his class. As a sophomore he put up impressive numbers catching 29 passes for 403 yards and 8 TDs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>14.[player_tooltip player_id='1188082' first='Gecova' last='Doyal'] 6-4 285 OL 27' Puyallup WA <strong>OFFERS (14) Washington, Oregon, Tennessee, Minnesota, Texas A/M</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: Doyal had a phenomenal season earning 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state honors as a junior. If he gets out on the camp circuit I could see some more of the nation's top programs offering. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Definitely one to watch with Puyallup being one of the fastest rising programs in the region. I see Doyal projecting more on the interior with this being a huge year from a recruitment standpoint. He earned 1st team all-conference honors as a sophomore. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>15.[player_tooltip player_id='1188123' first='Ty' last='Tautolo'] 6-4 240 DE 27' Lake Stevens WA <strong>OFFERS (10) Oregon, Notre Dame, Kansas St, Washington, Texas A/M</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Tautolo made the transfer from Snohomish to Lake Stevens and didn't miss a beat, racking up 1<sup>st</sup> team all state honors while totaling 90 tackles, 30 TFL's, and 6 sacks. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tautolo makes the move from Snohomish to 4A power Lake Stevens which should allow him to see much improved competition, after earning 2nd team all-conference honors the last two seasons. The offers speak for themselves. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>16.[player_tooltip player_id='791149' first='Kawai' last='Chamberlin'] 6-3 220 LB 27' Willamette OR <strong>OFFERS (6) Boise St, Washington St, UNLV</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: I could see Chamberlin blowing up on a national level. He was a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-league and 3rd team all-state selection, finishing with 103 tackles and 15 TFL's while also catching 4 TDs. His combination of size and speed is unique and will allow him to play at the highest level. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chamberlin's stock continues to rise, excelling on the camp circuit. He's big and fast and more than looked the part at Boise St where he landed an offer last month. He will be a conference POY favorite this coming season, after earning 2nd team all-league honors and finishing with 46 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks last year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>17.[player_tooltip player_id='1188105' first='J'Isaiah' last='Mitchell'] 6-5 180 WR 27' Puyallup WA <strong>OFFERS (8) Washington, Washington St, BYU, Cal</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATE: Mitchell is all of 6-5 and was part of an elite trio of WR's at Puyallup where the ball was spread around. On the year he caught 51 passes for 770 yards and 7 TD's, averaging 15.1 yards per catch. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It's hard to find Mitchell's versatility on a 6-5 frame. I would expect him to have a POY type season as a junior, after earning 2nd team all-conference honors last year, and catching 50+ balls the last two seasons.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>18.[player_tooltip player_id='928074' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] 6-2 190 DB 27' Graham Kapowsin WA<strong> COMMITTED: Washington</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Williams made the transfer from Yelm to 4A power Graham Kapowsin playing in only 4 games this season. His commitment to Huskies was a good one for both parties. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams broke out as a freshman and earned 1st team all-conference honors as a sophomore before making the move from Yelm to Emerald Ridge. His DB MVP accolades at the Under Armour Camp this off season helped solidify him as one of the top defensive backs on the west coast. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>19.[player_tooltip player_id='1012408' first='Kaden' last='Johnson'] 6-0 170 CB 28' Bellevue WA <strong>OFFERS (9) Auburn, Texas AM, Kentucky, Oregon St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: To say that Johnson has a rising stock would be a huge understatement, recently adding a handful of high profile offers. He had a solid 2025 campaign making 46 tackles with 12 PBU's. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The youngster could play early for Bellevue with his talents being on display as part of the FSP program this off season. He is a lockdown corner who also brings a lot to the table academically. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>20.[player_tooltip player_id='2065218' first='Siosaia' last='Malietufa'] 6-2 170 WR 29' O'Dea WA <strong>OFFERS (1) Colorado St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>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. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>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. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>21.[player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'] 6-2 175 WR/DB 28' Graham Kapowsin WA<strong> OFFERS (3) San Diego St, Nevada, Sacramento St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Halasz is an unquestioned double digit D1 offer athlete. He was a 1st team all-league WR and 2nd team DB as a sophomore, catching 64 passes for 1,023 yards and 12 TDs. The film speaks. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top two-way threats on the west coast for his class. Halasz racked up a couple D1 offers over the last few months and there will be many more. As a freshman he caught 18 passes with 200+ all-purpose yards and 2TD's. He also had 20 tackles with an INT, and 6 PBUs. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>22.[player_tooltip player_id='1857585' first='Kyler' last='Harden'] 6-6 300 T 28' O'Dea WA<strong> OFFERS (5) Auburn, Penn St, Colorado St, Idaho</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of the fastest rising line prospects in the West. Harden played in limited games due to injury, but it looks like the word has gotten out on his ability. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>23.[player_tooltip player_id='937176' first='Malachi' last='Garlington'] 6-3 180 WR 27' Nelson OR<strong> OFFERS (11) Boise St, UNLV, Oregon St, Wash St</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: One of the top receivers and fastest rising prospects on the west coast. Garlington makes a big jump up the rankings board after totaling 51 catches for 910 yards (1000+ all purpose) and 20 TDs, averaging 17.8 yards per reception. Look for him to blow up this off season on the recruiting front. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another kid who significantly upped his stock this off season. Garlington is an elite hooper but projects as a D1 WR. He made some nice catches at the Varsity level last year and is expected to be one of the best in the Mt Hood as a junior. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>24.[player_tooltip player_id='1969805' first='Gray' last='Longoria'] 6-3 235 OLB/DE 27' Sumner WA <strong>OFFERS (8) UNLV, San Jose St, Montana, N.Arizona</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Longoria was named the SPSL Defensive Lineman of the year and a 1<sup>st</sup> team all-state selection as a junior. He has some of the best film of any player in the NW. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>25.[player_tooltip player_id='1705963' first='Ronan' last='Crawford'] 6-6 255 DE/OL 29' West Linn OR</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>UPDATED: Still somewhat raw but his upside is ridiculous. If he puts it all together, he could be one of the TRL's best ever. </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Expect Crawford to be a major D1 recruit with his ceiling being as high as anyone. The Lions have produced some of the best lineman ever to come out of the state and he could be another one. </p>
