<p>The state of Washington is projected to be absolutely loaded with elite talent in the classes of 2030 and 2031.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So far, that group is more than living up to the hype.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After a stellar showing at the 2026 FBU Top Gun Showcase in Naples, Florida a total of six Washington prospects from Ford Sports Performance have been invited to Under Armour All-American games.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ford Sports Performance is known for developing young athletes and helping them become elite recruits. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With six student-athletes already tabbed as national All-Americans, it seems that reputation will only further solidify itself in the coming years.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Even more impressive? Most of those athletes already have Division I offers in hand. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a look at those prospects, along with a look at what they bring to the table via Tracy Ford.</p>

<p>Class of 2030 </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>OL [player_tooltip player_id='1907993' first='Tyson' last='Daniels'], Kennendy Catholic - "The 6-foot-4, 290-pound lineman continued to prove why he's one of the nation's premier offensive linemen. Holding offers from Alabama, Miami, Texas A&M, Florida State, Auburn, and many more, Daniels dominated throughout the event with his size, power, and technique."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Daniels is a clear-cut national recruit already, who has shown the early ability to be a star lineman immediately in high school football.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Kennedy Catholic youngster could very well flirt with five-star status if he continues to put in the work and develops. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>OL [player_tooltip player_id='1906200' first='Baker' last='Pohina'], Kennedy Catholic - "The 6-foot-1, 280-pound center showcased exactly why he's one of the toughest interior linemen in the country. A physical, relentless competitor, Pohina consistently overwhelmed defenders with his toughness and aggressive style of play. Following his standout performance, Baker earned his first Division I scholarship offer from the University of Idaho."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As interior offensive linemen get bigger, a spotlight will shine on Pohina's eventual height.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If he grows, the sky is the limit.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As is, he's already a bruising, powerful force who has established himself as an early Division I recruit.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That's a major accomplishment for any recruit this far away from his graduation date. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Class of 2031</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>LB [player_tooltip player_id='2182065' first='Lawrence' last='Phillips Jr']., FSP Academy - "The 5-foot-10, 195-pound 'backer was arguably the top defensive player at the entire camp. His instincts, physicality, and playmaking ability earned praise from coaches and evaluators all weekend as he dominated every opportunity. Following the camp, Lawrence picked up his third Division I scholarship offer from the University of Nevada."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Much has already been made about Phillips as one of the premier linebackers on the entire West Coast in the class of 2031.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So far, he's lived up to those expectations every time he goes to an event.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His development will be fascinating, because he's already so clearly talented at such a young age. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>WR/ATH Sincere Ford, FSP Academy: "The 5-foot-8, 150-pound receiver once again proved why he is one of the nation's top young receivers. Fresh off a huge performance at Adidas Nationals and an outstanding showing at the Oklahoma State camp, Ford earned a scholarship offer from Kansas State, bringing his total to seven Division I offers. He carried that momentum into FBU Top Gun, where he was widely regarded as the top receiver in attendance, consistently winning during the 1-on-1 period and earning another Division I offer from the University of Nevada following the event."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When your dad is as notable as Tracy Ford in the world of recruiting and athlete training, it puts the spotlight on you.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So far, Ford has handled that pressure extremely well, emerging as a big-time playmaker and track and field speedster at a very young age.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>OL [player_tooltip player_id='1950292' first='Paddy' last='Kelly'] - "The 6-foot-2, 289-pound lineman was one of the biggest breakout performers of the weekend. The Canadian offensive lineman turned heads with his heavy hands, physical style of play, and impressive technique against elite national competition." </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>DE [player_tooltip player_id='2227961' first='Leni' last='Siale'] - It's noteworthy that Siale actually picked up his Under Armour Next invite at a regional event in Las Vegas back in April.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With his brother a proven Division I recruit, Siale comes to high school with sky-high expectations.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Schools are already taking note, as he's beginning to pile up the offers. </p>
