Washington 4A Preseason All State 1st + 2nd Team "O"

Per usual, the Preseason All-State teams will be heavily influenced by projected team success and not just recruitment of the player. If your team doesn't win, it will be extremely difficult to earn all state accolades. If you are an individual who racks up all state honors even without your program winning, that's an impressive feat. Have a look..          *All teams are selected in collaboration with Andrew Nemec         1ST TEAM         QB [player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] 28' Graham Kapowsin    QB [player_tooltip player_id='2087218' first='Noah' last='Smith'] 27' Puyallup    QB [player_tooltip player_id='1969013' first='Blake' last='Moser'] 27' Lake Stevens    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1892954' first='Jayvian' last='Ferrell'] 27' Lake Stevens    RB [player_tooltip player_id='985352' first='Briytan' last='Bailey'] 28' Puyallup    RB [player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody'] 27' Camas    WR [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz'] 28' Graham Kapowsin   WR [player_tooltip player_id='1188109' first='Braylon' last='Pope'] 27' Sumner    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1188105' first='J'Isaiah' last='Mitchell'] 27' Puyallup    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='937738' first='Kase' last='Betz'] 27' Graham Kapowsin     ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1368318' first='Michael' last='Kori'] 27' Kamiakin    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1315611' first='Zach' last='Albright'] 27' Glacier Peak    OL [player_tooltip player_id='985356' first='Solova'a' last='Steffany'] 28' Grahm Kapowsin    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1188082' first='Gecova' last='Doyal'] 27' Puyallup    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1241961' first='Will' last='Lynch'] 27' Lake Stevens    OL [player_tooltip player_id='569907' first='Ayden' last='Bullinger'] 27' Graham Kapowsin    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1620395' first='Luke' last='Jennings'] 28' Glacier Peak    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1338208' first='Marley' last='Malotumau'] 28' Puyallup          2ND TEAM         QB [player_tooltip player_id='1613160' first='Brady' last='Bonnell'] 28' Tahoma    QB [player_tooltip player_id='2100370' first='Connor' last='Collins'] 27' Cheney    QB [player_tooltip player_id='1605392' first='Ben' last='Druckman'] 27' Camas    RB [player_tooltip player_id='1576634' first='Blake' last='Pearson'] 27' Graham Kapowsin    RB [player_tooltip player_id='2042096' first='Mylez' last='Welch'] 28' Bothell    RB [player_tooltip player_id='2042027' first='Cyion' last='Seoum'] 27' Bothell    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1679407' first='Seth' last='Price'] 27' Lake Stevens    WR [player_tooltip player_id='984711' first='Maxten' last='Cook'] 28' Lake Stevens    WR [player_tooltip player_id='1368330' first='Mason' last='Severson'] 27' Kamiakin    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1368366' first='Malik' last='Burns'] 27' Spanaway Lake    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1605386' first='Luke' last='Parker'] 27' Puyallup    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1384751' first='Kehano' last='Corpuz'] 29' Graham Kapowsin    ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1602819' first='Elijah' last='Burns'] 27' Kamiakin    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1599631' first='Ashton' last='Pillard'] 27' Sumner    TE [player_tooltip player_id='1568792' first='Parker' last='Heeter'] 27' Kennedy Catholic    OL [player_tooltip player_id='984903' first='Calvin' last='Middendorf'] 28' Lake Stevens    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1602822' first='Payton' last='Phillips'] 27' Moses Lake    OL [player_tooltip player_id='2100480' first='Rashaan' last='Lavata'i'] 27' Curtis    OL [player_tooltip player_id='2167337' first='Nikai' last='Senethavilay'] 27' Lake Washington    OL [player_tooltip player_id='1671069' first='Xavier' last='Wall'] 27' Mount Si          SUMMARY: The success of 2x SPSL POY [player_tooltip player_id='984855' first='AJ' last='Tuivaiave'] kind of speaks for itself. GK is absolutely loaded and he will be a 4A POY favorite after throwing 32 TD's/2 INTs last year. Both [player_tooltip player_id='2087218' first='Noah' last='Smith'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1969013' first='Blake' last='Moser'] aren't your prototypical quarterback's size wise, but it would be hard to top them if we are talking overall production.    [player_tooltip player_id='1892954' first='Jayvian' last='Ferrell'] will combo nicely with Moser after rushing for 1,764 yards and 25 TDs last year with [player_tooltip player_id='985352' first='Briytan' last='Bailey'] going for 1700+ and 24 TD's last season as well. Bailey and his QB [player_tooltip player_id='2087218' first='Noah' last='Smith'] give Puyallup the #1 ranking in the state heading into the year with GK and Lake Stevens right there also.    Don't sleep on Camas RB [player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody']. He went for 1300+ and earned 1st team all GSHL honors in 2025 and could put up some ridiculous numbers as a senior.    The WR/ATH group is one of the best to come through the state in some time in my opinion. I've been hollering incoming junior [player_tooltip player_id='985348' first='Jayce' last='Halasz']'s name before he had any offers and now he sits with the likes of Alabama, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Wisconsin. GK also has [player_tooltip player_id='937738' first='Kase' last='Betz'] who might be the most exciting offensive player in the state. The SPSL South MVP was dominant last season, catching 76 balls for 1,221 yards and 12 TD's.    UW commit [player_tooltip player_id='1188109' first='Braylon' last='Pope'] is coming off back-to-back to state titles at Sumner and is ranked the state's #1 recruit, with [player_tooltip player_id='1188105' first='J'Isaiah' last='Mitchell'] looking to have a monster senior campaign after the graduation of two of the state's top 2026 receivers in Lawson Looker and Jayden Woodland. Mitchell is ALL of 6-5 and can expect a consistent double team all year.    [player_tooltip player_id='1368318' first='Michael' last='Kori'] of Kamiakin is another phenomenal athlete to make note of. He has been making noise since his freshman season. If Portland St can keep his commitment, they will have a potential FCS All American.    The Huskies have done well for themselves getting commitments from Pope and TE [player_tooltip player_id='1315611' first='Zach' last='Albright']. The 6-5 235-pound big man looks to be the real deal and could play early at UW.    On the offensive front [player_tooltip player_id='1188082' first='Gecova' last='Doyal'] leads everyone from a recruiting standpoint and will likely be headed to Washington as well. Him and his 2028 teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1338208' first='Marley' last='Malotumau'] is a big reason Puyallup will be a legit 4A title favorite. Interior O lineman [player_tooltip player_id='985356' first='Solova'a' last='Steffany'] and [player_tooltip player_id='569907' first='Ayden' last='Bullinger'] of GK might have something to say about that with both of them holding multiple division 1 offers. It's a tough call if we are picking a state title winner between those two teams.    [player_tooltip player_id='1241961' first='Will' last='Lynch'] of Lake Stevens is a big get for Colorado St, as he sits with double digit D1 offers. He was another guy we had listed as a top 2027 recruit even when he had nothing from an offer standpoint. That said, as CSU continues to recruit the region well, offering 6-5 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1620395' first='Luke' last='Jennings'] of Glacier Peak. Expect the 1st team all-conference returner to have a big junior year and add a bunch of offers.
