<p><strong>Before the camp and showcase season starts in June, we take a look at a few of the athletes on each side of the ball, who have a chance to add offers in the coming weeks. It's always interesting to look back and see which predictions came true. Check it.. </strong></p>

<p><strong>DEFENSE: </strong>You have to really like the D and the guys who could potentially have MVP type performances at the showcases and on the camp circuit. 6-5 DE/TE [player_tooltip player_id='2106040' first='Leofatu' last='Filipe'] of Thurston has maybe the biggest upside of any player on the defense. He will be a double digit D1 offer athlete. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='937240' first='Isaiah' last='Ormond'] will be my leading candidate for POY honors at the 6A level on the defensive front. He has been absolutely dominnat recently. Fellow 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2105987' first='Mark' last='Bailey'] of Silverton isn't a big social media guy but was probbaly the state's top two way threat last year as a sophomore, helping his team to the state title. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1119870' first='Jamison' last='Walsh'] is one of the nation's top long snappers and will return as one of the state's top D lineman. I like him to be a steal for a Mid Major or FCS university. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2029 D Tackle [player_tooltip player_id='1969806' first='Kitiona' last='Tupua'] out of Puyallup is one of the top interior lineman in the country with double digit offers from the likes of Washington, Texas A/M, and Utah. If he performs well at camps he could add numerous others. It's not clear what side of the ball 6-6 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1705963' first='Ronan' last='Crawford'] will end up on, but expect him to be a factor for a top ranked Lions team. He's another guy who could blow up if he gets out to the showcases and collegiate camps. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As mentioned multiple times [player_tooltip player_id='1188110' first='Michael' last='Pulalasi'] is criminally underrated in my opinion. He's 6-0 tall but still the best ILB in the region. On the outside [player_tooltip player_id='791149' first='Kawai' last='Chamberlin'] has offers from Boise St, Oregon St and others and would be an absolute monster at those universities. I think others will come in on him. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Other OLB's include [player_tooltip player_id='1359070' first='Drew' last='Miller'] of Barlow who has NFL/D1 genes and a stock that is rising quickly and 1<sup>st</sup> team all TRL returner [player_tooltip player_id='2088792' first='Zane' last='Carley'] who has great size and just continues to impress. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1335521' first='RJ' last='Ward'] of Bellevue is one of the top overall players in Washington. He just added an Arizona offer to Boise St and others and could blow up over the summer. My sleeper of the group comes in [player_tooltip player_id='2090563' first='Robbie' last='Capers'] of Mountain View in Bend, OR. He can play multiple spots with the weakside backer position possibly being a good fit. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Freshman Safety [player_tooltip player_id='2090232' first='Amir' last='Harris'] just landed his first D1 offer from UNLV. He could add to that quickly with a solid showing at the collegiate showcases. Fellow Oregon 2027 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1474331' first='Ben' last='Wiepert'] of Wilsonville is an athlete who I think could make one of the biggest jumps of any player in the NW on recruiting boards. I believe the 6-3 POY favorite is a P4 guy. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've talked on the Washington DB's a lot recently with [player_tooltip player_id='1397308' first='Dash' last='Jones'] being ranked one of the top 2030's in the land. [player_tooltip player_id='1397322' first='Marquis' last='Tovia'] now of Rainier Beach is as hot as anybody, recently garnering offers from the likes of UW, Utah, and Washington St. Last but not least Safety [player_tooltip player_id='985355' first='Amosa' last='Masaniai'] of Emerald Ridge who I expect to land a hand full of additional offers before the season starts. Kids the real deal. </p>
